About Maria Jones
I lead DIME Analytics, a team in the World Bank’s Development Impact department dedicated to improving research credibility, transparency, and reproducibility. We support DIME’s global research portfolio, identifying technical constraints and inefficiencies and developing tools and trainings. All our products are open-source and open-access; we share knowledge with the global development research community through our open-source tools, flagship courses, the Development Research in Practice Handbook, and the DIME Wiki. I also lead the World Bank\'s Reproducible Research Initiative. We publish verified reproducibility packages at the new Reproducible Research Repository (reproducibility.worldbank.org) and share all our protocols and tools publicly atgithub.com/worldbank/wb-reproducible-research-repository I’ve been with DIME since 2009. I started my career embedded in the Ministry of Agriculture in Malawi, then managed a program of impact evaluations for the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program. After that, I became responsible for managing DIME’s portfolio of impact evaluations related to agriculture and food security.
