Within DSWB, we actively support knowledge-building and the adoption of open science practices by fostering connections with existing open science communities and projects.
The Turing Way is a key resource we utilize for learning and implementing best practices in data science.
The Turing Way is dedicated to curating and sharing best practices, and identifying areas where DSWB members, in collaboration with other practitioners, can contribute to resource development.
Using The Turing Way¶
Members from across the DSWB community are encouraged to become active users of The Turing Way.
The Turing Way’s “Pathways” feature provides user-specific entry points with curated sets of chapters tailored to particular roles and themes. This feature streamlines navigation, enabling users to quickly access content most relevant to their roles and interests.
DSWB members actively collaborate with The Turing Way community to curate, read and share relevant data science practices in their networks.
Through our community activities, we aim to equip DSWB members with familiarity in reproducible, ethical, inclusive, and collaborative data science practices, and promote the wider adoption of these practices within their project teams.
Contributing to The Turing Way¶
We recognise that The Turing Way, while valuable, is not an exhaustive resource. To directly address the DSWB community’s specific needs, our members contribute to The Turing Way by documenting and openly sharing practices and examples derived from our work.
As a unique community, DSWB possesses significant shared expertise and context-specific examples that are highly relevant to our members and the broader network of health researchers. By contributing to The Turing Way GitHub repositories and participating in community events such as Collaboration Cafés and Book Dashes, DSWB community members will contribute to documenting and sharing these best practices, thereby enhancing The Turing Way’s utility within our specific contexts.
To participate in The Turing Way spaces, please read out their contribution process in the Community Handbook.
Translating Chapters in Different Languages¶
Translation is a key step for internationalisation of The Turing Way resources on data science practices. While the community work together to make resources on data science practices accessible to a wider, global audience, we recognise the importance of overcoming language barriers to promote the adoption of open science principles and best practices.
One key initiative in this effort is making The Turing Way resources available in French, in collaboration with French-speaking members of the community. This collaborative effort involves discussions on internationalisation strategies and hands-on efforts on translating chapters with a goal to make best practice resources accessible to diverse multilingual communities.
To participate in the translation initiatives please read the Translation chapter in Community Handbook and join the Translation and Localisation Working Group in The Turing Way.
We encourage all interested community members to get in touch with Malvika and Precious, who will support you in navigating, using and contributing to The Turing Way.
