FORRT

In pursuit of the best conceivable educational practices in higher education in light of Open and Reproducible research.

FORRT — Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training

forrt.org · forrtproject@gmail.com

FORRT is a global, volunteer-run initiative working to advance open and reproducible research practices in higher education. This page is a work-in-progress map of the GitHub organisation — what lives here, who maintains what, and how things are named. PRs welcome.


Teams

Team Remit
Operations Committee Cross-cutting coordination across FORRT projects
FORRT Engineering Development and infrastructure across FORRT tools
Team Replications Replication-focused projects (FReD, FLoRA, RJF, …)
Team Website forrt.org maintenance
Team AWoP Academic Wheel of Privilege

Most projects also have their own informal working groups that aren't modelled as GitHub teams. If you want to get involved, the forrt.org get-involved page is the best starting point.


Repository clusters

Repos are loosely grouped by project family. Names below are not exhaustive — see the full repository list.

Replications — FReD (FORRT Replication Database)

A curated database of replication attempts plus the tooling around it.

Replications — FLoRA (Library of Replication Attempts)

A complementary, broader library of replication attempts and tooling that surfaces it in researchers' workflows.

Replications — other

Naming conventions

All repos use kebab-case (lowercase, hyphen-separated). Project-family prefixes group related work:

Prefix Used for
fred-* FReD (FORRT Replication Database) ecosystem
flora-* FLoRA (Library of Replication Attempts) ecosystem
forrt-* Org-level shared assets (templates etc.)
*-archive Snapshotted, no-longer-active projects

Two exceptions keep non-kebab names because GitHub requires them: .github (this repo — must be exactly .github to act as the org profile) and forrtproject.github.io (must match the org name to serve at that path).

Brand names in prose and READMEs use mixed case (FReD, FLoRA); the repository names are always lowercase.

When starting a new repo, prefer:

  1. The relevant project-family prefix if one applies (fred-, flora-, …).
  2. kebab-case otherwise.
  3. A short description and topic tags so it surfaces in the repo list.
