One of the following (or a linear combination):
- Reproducibility when some data are confidential
- Advanced self-checking of reproducibility
- Preserving raw survey data early in research lifecycle (ethically!)

No data yet. Check back later.
The last day serves to review the various materials, handle any questions not addressed (in detail) on the previous days, and discuss experiences and difficulties applying these principles in your work.
Topics may include:
- Advanced self-checking of reproducibility (the more technical parts)
- Preserving raw survey data early in research lifecycle (ethically!)
- Reproducibility for LLM and AI

Examples of replication packages
With confidential data
- https://doi.org/10.3886/E154241V2 not only code, but faces the problem that IRS data cannot have variables revealed. Their workaround is not the same one as in this tutorial.
- https://doi.org/10.3886/E162581V1
Using containers:
- Kline et al (2024) “A Discrimination Report Card: primary replication package, with container specification, image on Docker Hub, and preserved image on Zenodo.
- Herbert et al (2024) “Reproduce to validate”: primary replication package, container specification and preserved image on Borealis.ca.
