SUMMARY:Data Conversations: JASP & REDCap
DESCRIPTION:For Open Science Week 2026 we'll explore open source 
 alternatives to widely-used research software. Working with SPSS or 
 Qualtrics but yearning for open source alternatives? Join us on Wednesday 
 16 september for the first Data Conversations of the new semester to get a 
 crash course introduction to both JASP and REDCap.\n\nLocation: 3D Dialogue 
 center (accessible from the main campus square\, W&N building)\n\nWhat to 
 expect:\n\nData Conversations: JASP & REDCap will be a lunch meeting in 
 which data professionals from both VU and UvA will give a short 
 introduction to JASP and REDCap. There will be In addition\, we will 
 showcase a short number of other open source alternatives\n\n12:00 - 12:30 
 JASP\n\nPresenter: dr. Johnny van Doorn (UvA)\n\nJASP is a free\, open 
 source statistics package developed at UvA that makes data analysis 
 accessible with limited statistical software experience. It offers a wide 
 range of analyses\, including descriptive statistics\, regression\, ANOVA\, 
 mixed models\, and Bayesian methods\, all through a simple point-and-click 
 interface. Results update automatically and can be exported as 
 publication-ready tables and figures\, making it a practical alternative to 
 SPSS for many research projects.\n\n12:30 - 13:00 REDCap\n\nPresenter: 
 Morgan Peterson (VU Library)\n\nREDCap is a secure platform for creating 
 and managing online surveys and research data collection forms. It is 
 widely used for collecting participant data\, questionnaires and study 
 information while maintaining strong privacy and security controls. 
 Features such as user permissions\, audit trails\, encrypted data transfer 
 and support for privacy regulations help researchers manage sensitive data 
 responsibly. REDCap is especially useful for studies that require reliable 
 and compliant online data collection.\n\nDon't miss the free lunch at the 
 beginning of the event! Those who are willing to stay longer than an hour 
 are welcome to continue discussion and networking after the 
 presentations.\n\n \n\nWho should attend?\n\nData Conversations brings 
 together researchers\, research support staff and data management and data 
 science experts from all subject areas. Early career researchers\, as well 
 as experienced academics\, are welcome to attend.\n\nAbout Data 
 Conversations\n\nData Conversations started at the University of Lancaster 
 in the UK. The Lancaster Data Conversations aim to bring data practitioners 
 together to talk about how researchers create\, collect\, use and share 
 data. The Data Conversations at the VU Amsterdam share the same aim and are 
 intended to provide a forum for researchers from different subjects and 
 disciplines to exchange practices and ideas around open data\, FAIR data\, 
 research data management and related open science topics.\n\nAbout the Open 
 Science Week\n\n\n\n14–18 September 2026\n\n\n\nTo celebrate and advance 
 the practice of Open Science\, the Open Science Community Amsterdam (OSCA) 
 as part of the Network of Open Science Communities in the Netherlands 
 (OSC-NL) hosts a series of interesting talks\, workshops and events on open 
 science. Check out the website for the program!
