Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. The community acts as a living curriculum and involves learning on the part of everyone. The three characteristics of a CoP are:

1. Community: An environment for learning through interaction;

2. Practice: Specific knowledge shared by community members; and

3. Domain: A shared interest, problem, or concern.

This Community of Practice is open to researchers who share an interest in reproducible research and/or related topics and practices. This includes — but is not limited to — any interested persons across the SPECTRUM and SPARK networks.
