## Resources

<br> 

[**<font size="4" color="red">These resources</font>**](http://ohi-science.org/news/Resources-for-R-and-Data-Science) helped us learn open data science practices and tools. They are developed and used by a welcoming, inclusive community and are all available online for free. 

- We also created an [**Introduction to Open Data Science**](http://ohi-science.org/data-science-training) hands-on training book to teach the collaborative, reproducible, open practices we describe in Lowndes et al. 2017.


[**<font size="4" color="red">These references</font>**](http://ohi-science.org/news/importance-of-open-data-science-tools) in the academic literature and media discuss the importance of open data science tools in science.

We think that with existing data science tools and open practices, together we can find environmental solutions more efficiently.

We are proud members of the [rOpenSci](https://ropensci.org/), [RStudio](http://rstudio.com/), [R-Ladies](https://rladies.org/), and [#rstats](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23rstats&src=typd) communities.
