Seeking @Code_Copilot for JudgementAndDecisionMaking experiment wt @giladfeldman, prefer by 25Feb2020. 150lines data prep + 1450 lines analysis (large chunks of it are empty rows). Background needed: R, Rmarkdown. Background useful: prop. tests, rudimentary BayesianAnlysis

We'll be at #BITSS2019! Come say hi to @_MMathur and @Tom_Hardwicke and grab a free decal.

A wonderful first example of copiloting by @jpheffne, @giladfeldman, & @PRASAC!

[Gilad Feldman @giladfeldman]

@Code_Copilot works, and is terrific!

Went over what @jpheffne sent @PRASAC after reviewing our manuscript's Rmarkdown, & it's wonderful. Truly.

That's what science should be. Open, reproducible, collaborative, positive. Contribute to your community!

Thanks @jpheffne!

And our first intrepid copiloting offer! Thanks, Joey!

[Joey Heffner @jpheffne]

@PRASAC @giladfeldman @Code_Copilot Cool concept @Code_Copilot! I’d be happy to help review R code

Our second copiloting request! Who would like to help with this?

@sankaraleengam We hear you on the deep fear of analysis errors. @_MMathur has had literal nightmares to this effect...

[Code Is My Copilot (at #BITSS2019) @Code_Copilot]

@phillip4real Per our posting guidelines, we would like this information included in initial requests.

@ja_labrecque_ @GhassanHamraPhD @sbh4th @ErasmusMC @ReproHackNL Thank you, Jeremy!

Our inaugural copiloting request! Who can help copilot this simulation study? Someone from #epitwitter?

[Phillip Awodutire, PhD @phillip4real]

“Seeking @Code_Copilot for maximum likelihood of a mixture cure model with covariates via simulation, wanted by by 20/11/2019

@BrettButtliere Requesters post their own requests by tweeting @Code_Copilot, which we then retweet. See our posting guidelines for more on this.

Have you ever found a critical error in your data analysis code? We all have. One of the best ways to catch errors is through independent third-party auditing. This new account is designed to help; more below. (Please retweet.)

@_MMathur @TomHardwicke @BalazsAczel And that should be @Tom_Hardwicke. If only we'd had a copilot to audit our tweet...

[Code Is My Copilot (at #BITSS2019) @Code_Copilot]

1.) @Code_Copilot (by @_MMathur, @TomHardwicke, & @BalazsAczel) is a no-frills, beta platform to help you, a researcher in any discipline, to find another researcher (your “copilot”) to carefully read and re-run your data prep and analysis code to help check for errors.

5.) We hope this idea will catch on and survive. This largely depends on your own engagement and sharing. If you support, please consider retweeting, following, posting a request, or offering to copilot.
