a Webinar on August 28    <https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/967760842>
*Space is limited.*
Reserve your Webinar seat now at:
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/967760842     This webinar will
present a protocol for documenting data management and analysis that has
been developed specifically for use by students writing empirical research
papers in the social sciences.

The guiding principle behind the protocol is replicability: The
documentation should be complete and transparent enough to allow an
interested third party to easily and exactly reproduce all the steps of
data management and analysis that led from the original data files to the
results reported in the paper. We will describe what the protocol entails,
and as an example we will show the documentation that an economics major
assembled for his senior thesis last year.  We will also discuss a one and
one-half day workshop we will be offering in October, aimed at instructors
who are interested in teaching this research documentation protocol to
their students.

This webinar will be presented by Richard Ball, Associate Professor of
Economics, Haverford College, and Norm Medeiros, Associate Librarian,
Haverford College.  For more information, see www.haverford.edu/TIER
