What are the NSC-R Workshops?
The NSC-R Workshops were a series of one‑hour online instructional sessions designed to support participants in developing their data science skills in R and to promote open science principles. These workshops took place from 2021 to 2024. The sessions were organized by a team primarily affiliated with the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), but they were open to everyone, regardless of affiliation or skill level.
Please note that the NSC‑R online workshops were discontinued in 2025. They have been partially replaced by an in-person, four‑day Carpentries‑certified course on R for Social Scientists, which is organized and taught annually in October by the former NSC‑R workshop team.
On this website, you can still access the materials used during the sessions. Here you will find workshops on specific topics (e.g., network analysis, missing values) as well as ‘Tidy Tuesday’ workshops that cover more fundamental skills and materials. A collection of the latter workshop materials has been compiled by Harrie Jonkman into a single document, which can be found here.
