Impact of Programming Workshops on Biomedical Reproducibility (IPWBR)

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of introductory
programming workshops on the computational reproducibility of biomedical
research workflows. This mixed methods study consisted of in-depth
interviews with 14 biomedical researchers before and after participation
in an introductory programming workshop. During the interviews,
participants descreir research workflows and responded to a quantitative
checklist measuring reproducible behaviors. The interview data was
analyzed using a thematic analysis approach, and the pre and post workshop
checklist scores were compared to assess the impact of the workshop on
computational reproducibility of the researchers’ workflows.
