We believe workflows are a key way to improve transparency, speed up time-to-science and provide better sustainability for science processes. At this session, we will assist in helping participants create, optimize and share their science workflows. Other benefits of workflows and workflow training include:<br class=""><div class=""><ul class=""><li class="">Workflows can be cited as research artifacts (in addition to software and data) for better transparency of research methods and conformance to FAIR principles.</li><li class="">By identifying and laying out the particular components and interfaces of a workflow, it is easier to make decisions about how to best integrate standards and open source tools. This can lead to increased collaboration, more stability and better sustainability of workflows.</li><li class="">A describable workflow helps in the training of new staff and students about your science processes.</li><li class="">When the resources needed for each step of a workflow are defined, it is easier to identify bottlenecks and increase efficiency.</li><li class="">Engaging students in the process of creating workflows helps bolster the importance of data science methods in developing careers.</li></ul></div><br class="">If you are interested in participating, <a href="https://tinyurl.com/EarthCube-ASSET-2021" class="">please register using this online form</a> by March 5th.
