OCBE Wiki Pages

Help for self-help

The aim of these Wiki pages is to provide a list of recommended resources (at OCBE, UiO and online) to help you get started with your data analysis projects.

We are not aiming to provide an exhaustive list of all available online resources. Rather, we want to be a guide in the «online jungle» by pointing out good starting points for specific research questions.

We also provide links to guidelines and overview articles, which are particularly relevant for medical researchers.
