Workshop Abstract
Git and GitHub were not used in this workshop. The abstract below has been updated to reflect this change.
This workshop aims to enable participants to adapt existing projects and workflows to meet AEA Replication standards. Participants will learn how to use features from Quarto markdown to organise code scripts and data analysis according to the Data and Code Availability Standard [Version 1.0] (Koren et al. 2022), and how to publish a companion website.
In this workshop, participants will:
improve their understanding of AEA replication standards
learn to include coding scripts (STATA, MATLAB, R, Python etc.), tables, figures, citations and mathematical equations in Quarto documents
produce a replication package and website using a provided Quarto template
learn how to publish a replication website online using Netlify Drop
(optional) learn about additional Quarto features such as presentation slides and custom document styling
Quarto is an open-source framework for authoring scientific and technical documents in formats such as HTML, PDF, MS Word, and more.
