We believe that all researchers should share their analytic code. Open sharing provides an unambiguous record of the analytical methods used, aiding reproducibility and error spotting. It also permits efficient re-use by other researchers. This is why we share all source code for all our projects, including OpenPrescribing, OpenPathology, OpenSAFELY and FDAAA Trials tracker is available on our main GitHub account. In addition, every paper we publish has its code shared, linked to from the page where you can see exactly how the code runs against the underlying data. This is all part of our open working ethos, and our other core value: combining best practice from the academic and software development communities.
This is the code related to our OpenPathology project. Specifically this repo stores ad-hoc analyses, papers, and related research.
The code for the website (and online tool, when developed) are in their own repository.
This is the website code for openprescribing.net - a Django application that provides a REST API and dashboards for the English Prescribing Dataset published by the NHS Business Services Authority. Information about data sources used on OpenPrescribing can be found here.
This is the code for the OpenSAFELY cohort extractor tool which supports the authoring of OpenSAFELY-compliant research, by:
It is also the mechanism by which cohorts are extracted from live database backends within the OpenSAFELY framework.
This is the repository for the OpenSAFELY job runner. A job runner is a service that encapsulates: the task of checking out an OpenSAFELY study repo; executing actions defined in its project.yaml configuration file when requested via a jobs queue; and storing its results in a particular locations.
The documentation is aimed at developers looking for an overview of how the system works. It also has some parts relevant for end users, particularly the project.yaml documentation.
