ReproNim 'First Fridays' Webinar – Friday, February 7, at 2pm Eastern Time


Hi All –



We have a special guest speaker this month! Melissa Kline Struhl<https://eccl.mit.edu/team-profiles/melissa-kline-struhl> (Research Scientist, MIT) joins us from the Early Childhood Cognition Lab<https://eccl.mit.edu/>, where she serves as the Executive Director for the Lookit Tean, and Director of Children Helping Science<https://childrenhelpingscience.com/>.



Title: "Psych-DS: A data standard for datasets in the behavioral sciences."



Abstract:

This talk will discuss Psych-DS, a data standard for the behavioral sciences that is designed to be usable by a single researcher during any stage of the data lifecycle. Especially when datasets are small (that is, smaller than e.g. a brain imaging dataset), we are often not explicitly taught best practices for working with data in ways that minimize error and lead to FAIR data sharing. This leads to both a lack of consensus about how to share and organize data in these fields, and difficulty with the practical sharing of the datasets that underlie our research. Psych-DS is a method for organizing psychological and behavioral data, which aims to satisfy FAIR principles for data sharing. Like the successful BIDS neuroimaging standard, Psych-DS has a validator tool that lets you check whether your dataset is organized according to the Psych-DS standard, and we are developing tools for common programming languages and platforms in the psych sciences. I will also share some example datasets, and am very interested in hearing stories from the attendees about your particular challenges in deciding how to organize your data.
