Ten simple rules for implementing open and reproducible research practices after attending a training course

Abstract

Training in robust research practices is becoming increasingly common. However, many course participants may encounter challenges in implementation of what they learned after returning to their research groups. In this piece, we summarize insights and "lessons learned" from a group of former course participants. We offer practical tips on implementation and cultural change that may be useful for researchers at any career stage. In addition, we provide a list of considerations for course instructors to help them support course attendees after training is over.
