Why Open Science?

We embarked on assembling this resource to provide a flexible and free resource for the students at the University of Maryland, College Park. We teach open science and value the contributions of the community. We hope others will find this resource useful as well. The making of this website and the accompanying R tutorial was generously funded by a grant from the University of Maryland, Department of Psychology to Drs. Tracy Tomlinson and Amanda Chicoli.
