Which software (e.g., MS Excel / Word, R, Matlab etc) do you find best to use for presenting statistics data visually for publication? @PhDForum @AcademicChatter @JASPStats #HE @OxExpPsy @RHULPsychology @VBourne_stats @ProfAndyField @MaartenSpeek @UCLPALS @o_guest @PaLSPPG

Good point about reproduciblity. I very much support learning programming but I wonder if it's an issue though that might discourage people with non-technical backgrounds. Generally there might be less programming involved in social psy than neuroscience

I'm always curious to know what people's views are of macros in Excel, where VBA code is visible. It's a good way of pre-processing lots of participants' files for people new to code (click to record macro, edit/add code in script, run code on next sheet)

Openness and reproducibility are closely intertwined, so what I think here stands for your question above too:https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/932946420889522181 …

See
@o_guest I feel that good knowledge of programming means you are more able to appreciate the importance of open software and being able to take that specific code and run an analysis with the same data as someone else. What lacks is the widespread programming knowledge.

Sure. But this ignores that you need to know what you are doing, when you code your statistics in R. If that's not what you are good at, it is better to stick to what you know. IMHO (I am guessing this is what Andy means)

Yes this is a good point. Limiting people to do psychological research based on programming knowledge might not be great. Some people are great at theorising and experimental designs but less so at programming. What do you think? @katejjeffery
