The 2nd SARA Bootcamp brings together researchers, students, and academics for three days of intensive, practical learning on how to write, format, and publish research using Quarto and R - two of the most powerful open-source tools in modern research communication.

SARA believes research produced by and about marginalized communities must be heard. This bootcamp equips you with the tools to publish that research professionally, reproducibly, and beautifully.


Learn. Write. Publish.

πŸ”¬ What is Quarto?

Quarto is a next-generation open-source scientific publishing system. Write in Markdown, embed R or Python code, and publish as PDF, HTML, Word, or a full website β€” all from one document.

πŸ‘₯ Who Should Attend?

Researchers, PhD scholars, postgraduates, faculty, NGO professionals, journalists, and anyone who wants to write and publish evidence-based work. No prior coding experience needed for beginners’ track.

πŸ† What You Take Home

A published or near-published research piece, a working Quarto + R setup, a certificate of participation from SARA, and a network of fellow researchers committed to inclusive knowledge production.

πŸ“Š Why R?

R is the gold standard for statistical computing and data visualisation in research. Used by academics, government statisticians, and data scientists worldwide β€” and it’s free and open-source.
