This unconference explores the potential of the Nix package manager to address these challenges and revolutionize reproducibility in psychological research. Nix offers a powerful solution for creating fully reproducible software environments, allowing researchers to specify exact versions of R, packages, and system dependencies.
This approach goes beyond traditional package management, ensuring that analyses can be reproduced across different systems and time periods. Special attention will be given to Rix, an innovative R package that harnesses the power of Nix for people unfamiliar with Nix.
The unconference will cover practical applications of Nix and Rix in psychological research, addressing challenges such as dependency management, version control, and long-term reproducibility. Participants will gain insights into how these tools can enhance the credibility and replicability of their research, potentially transforming the landscape of psychological science methodology.
Notes:
- Nix only runs on macOS and Linux
-Familiarity with programming and version control is recommended
