GitHub Site Review

Nov-23 : In this lesson, we will peer review GitHub site portfolios.

We will take this meeting time to review one another’s work in the course thus far.

Overall Site

• Is there a good main page, raising interest in both the person (as a potential employee…) and the content (evidence of an intellectual GIS maverick?)
• Is the site functional with working links and easy navigation?
• Is the site following an honor code of sharing, reproducibility, and attribution of work?

Blog Posts

• There are six posts thus far:
  • What is Open GIScience?
  • Open Source GIS & Reproducibility
  • Error & Uncertainty
  • Open CyberGIS Community
  • Malawi Vulnerability Model & Uncertainty
  • Humanitarian GIS
• Do posts cite appropriate readings?
• Is any proofreading / revision necessary?
• Does the most misinterpret anything from the reading, or miss something important for the argument being made?
• Are posts related to a workshop activity using data for that workshop and linking to relevant repositories?

Labs

• There are three labs thus far:
  • Dar es Salaam Resilience in PostGIS SQL
  • Chicago COVID-19 Spatial Accessibility in Python
  • Twitter Disasters in R
• Have each of the lab analyses been published with a Git repository?
• Do each of the lab have a post with interesting findings from the lab report?
• Does each lab post link to the lab’s research compendium/repository?
• For each lab, is there clear and legible:
  • purpose
  • methodology
  • data availability and metadata / data citations
  • code
  • visualization of results
  • interpretation of results in relation to relevant course readings?
• Can any steps be taken to improve reproducibility of the lab?
