The Osun State University (UNIOSUN), in partnership with

the Association of African Universities (AAU), has initiated a research model on how African universities can use ‘stata’ to do analysis on reproduction of research.

The initiative was discussed at the second research/training workshop tagged ‘Data Ethics and Skills for Reproduction of Research Findings Using Stata’, held at MicCom Golf and Hotel, Ada, Osun State.

Speaking at the event, the Project Officer for AAU, Mr. Samuel Nyarko Agyapong said the workshop was aimed at training the next generation of African researchers on data analysis tools and practices to enhance the transparency, reproducibility and openness of research.

He explained that the focus of the workshop was to make participants gain basic understanding and skills in analyzing research data in a reproducible manner.

In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor of UNIOSUN, Professor Labode Popoola said the most pressing problem facing the world today is the increasing complex approach to research.
