Welcome to the Start Your Lab guide for conventions, a collection of helpful guidelines to make teamwork more straightforward. When members of a lab can agree to and follow conventions, they often find working together on projects more fun, efficient, and effective.
Scientists are familiar with and use many conventions in their everyday work, including citation style, significant figures, and confidence intervals. In the same way, we hope to establish conventions for managing teams, projects, and code to facilitate digital collaboration (e.g., within a lab), effective documentation, and open science.
NOTE: Repository in progress. Please take out an issue request specific topics or conventions you would like to see in here.
Coming soon.
