#### **Thank you for attending!** (**NOTE**: this is the first of three webinars in the series. Materials for the second seminar can be found [here](https://osf.io/76z3d/wiki/Webinar%20materials/).) An MP4 video of this webinar is now available on the home [webpage](https://osf.io/p7r5d/). **NOTE**: we inadvertently started the recording after the introduction/title slide, so we have added a clip to the beginning of the original video for completeness. We have provided [answers](https://osf.io/p7r5d/wiki/Webinar%20Q%26A%20follow-up/) to the questions we did not have time to address during the webinar. Additional resources are available on the accompanying [wiki](https://osf.io/p7r5d/wiki/Webinar%20materials/), including materials you may wish to read prior to the webinar. The [Canadian Institute for Ecology and Evolution](http://www.ciee-icee.ca/) and NSERC-CREATE "Living Data Project" present the following webinar: **Reproducible Research through Open Science** **Presenters**: Jason Pither & Mathew Vis-Dunbar, UBC, Okanagan campus **When**: Thursday June 11, 2020. 9:00-10:30am Pacific Daylight Time **Description**: Reproducibility is key to advancing science and to supporting evidence-based policy, but it can be challenging to achieve in practice. In this webinar we will first explain what is meant by reproducibility, and then describe the barriers to reproducibility that lie within research workflows and the broader research ecosystem. We will then describe Open Science best practices that can promote reproducibility for researchers, and will highlight tools that facilitate these practices. We will then provide a short demo of one such tool: the OSF web platform (https://osf.io). About the presenters: [**Jason Pither**](https://jasonpither.weebly.com) is an ecologist and associate professor of biology at the Okanagan campus of UBC, and is co-lead of the Fostering Open Science @ UBC initiative. **Mathew Vis-Dunbar** is the Southern Medical Program Librarian at UBC Okanagan where he supports researchers across the sciences to engage in open, transparent and reproducible research. The webinar outline is provided below. Please consult the companion [wiki](https://osf.io/p7r5d/wiki/Webinar%20materials/) for additional materials. *** **Draft Webinar Outline:** The slidedeck for both the first and second parts of the webinar are available for download from the [homepage](https://osf.io/p7r5d/) in PDF and (for the first part) PowerPoint format.
