Tutorial: FAIR & Public Knowledge Infrastructures for Reproducibility

When: TBD

Where: TBD

Authors: Vinodh Ilangovan and Markus Stocker (Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library (TIB))

Abstract: This hands-on tutorial introduces the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) and TIB Knowledge Loom as complementary tools for making research contributions structured, machine-actionable, and reproducible. Participants will learn how to transform unstructured publications into FAIR-compliant knowledge units, create structured comparisons, and integrate semantic objects into dynamic knowledge workflows. No prior experience with knowledge graphs is required.

Presentation: The story behind the Reproducibility Check

When: TBD

Where: TBD

Author: Yasel Quintero Lares (Digital Competence Centre (DCC))

Abstract: We will present the story behind the Reproducibility Check initiative, developed by the TU Delft Digital Competence Center (DCC) in collaboration with 4TU.ResearchData repository. The initiative targets TU Delft researchers who deposit the software and data underlying their publications in 4TU.ResearchData. Deposits are screened and authors are invited to participate in a reproducibility check, in which RSEs from the DCC attempt to reproduce the published results using the CODECHECK process (Nüst and Eglen, 2021). We will share insights from the pilot phase, running since spring 2025, highlighting common challenges and strategies to address them, including approaches to engaging researchers and lowering participation barriers. Based on these experiences, we provide recommendations for institutions and RSE teams interested in implementing similar initiatives.

Workshop: Reproducibility Check

When: TBD

Where: TBD

Author: João Guimarães (DCC)

Abstract: In this workshop participants can try themselves a reproducibility check following the CODECHECK process (Nüst and Eglen, 2021). We suggest selecting a set of checks we did in the past and redo them on the workshop.

Workshop: Tools for sustainable software

When: TBD

Where: TBD

Author: Manuel Garcia Alvarez (DCC)

Abstract: In this workshop we demonstrate the use of open-source tools developed by the DCC, including, fairly, software templates, and code auditor. In the workshop participants will learn about best practices when developing research software using dedicated tools.
