Reproductible Research II : Pratiques et outils pour gérer les calculs et les données
28 avril 2026
Following the success of the MOOC Reproducible research: methodological principles for transparent science, the authors continue exploring reproducibility with a focus on massive data and complex calculations. These two MOOCs complement each other and offer a coherent training program on the subject.

In this second MOOC Reproducible Research II: Practices and tools for managing computations and.., you will learn:
- how to manage large datasets and complex computations in controlled software environments
- formats such as JSON, FITS, and HDF5
- platforms like Zenodo and Software Heritage
- tools like git-annex, Docker, Singularity, Guix, make, and Snakemake,
- how to integrate them in a real-life use case: a sunspot detection study.
