Reproducible posters an Otago theme
presentation
posted on 2020-03-10, 03:48 authored by Matt BixleyThe endpoint of most research is a publication, be that a journal article (hopefully in
Nature), a conference presentation or a lab meeting. The premise of Reproducible Research
is that not only do we now present a summary of our findings, but we also make available
the details, code and (where possible) the data that lead to those findings. Various tools
exist to assist us in sharing our work and documenting our workflows. One extremely
popular tool for this is R Markdown, which provides the ability to write, document and
publish in a single workflow.
Here we present, postOTAGO an R package for creating posters with an Otago theme, that is
readily transferable to other organisations.
