## What it is
The Turing Way is a collaboratively written, open-source handbook teaching reproducible, ethical, and collaborative data science. It is published as a free online book built with MyST and maintained by a large community of contributors.

## Use cases
- learn how to make my data science project reproducible
- guide for ethical and collaborative research practices
- best practices for version control and testing in research code
- onboarding material for a research software engineering team
- reference for open science and community-driven project management
- checklist for reproducible computational research

## When to choose
- you need free, community-reviewed guidance on reproducibility and research ethics
- you want educational material to teach data science best practices
- you want to contribute to or reuse openly licensed (CC-BY-4.0) learning content

## When to avoid
- you need executable software or tooling rather than written guidance
- you need a formal course with certification rather than a reference handbook
- you need domain-specific tutorials for a particular programming language or framework

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, data-science
- domain: data-science, education, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: open-science, reproducibility, handbook, collaboration, community-driven, book, web-server
