# Descriptions of talk

### Clean up your data screening process with reporteR
The reporteR package (formerly known as dataMaid) 1) makes it easy to produce a document that less R-savvy collaborators can read, understand and use to decide “do these data look right?”; and 2) documents which potential errors that were considered. Both will help ensure subsequent reproducible data science and document the data at all stages of the quality assessment process
