Keeping your research and data analyses organized can be hard. Tools that help you promotes effective project management, reproducibility, collaboration, and sharing of results can be incredibly important!

The next event is Tuesday October 20, 2020 from 12-1:30pm (virtual meetup on Zoom). In this meetup, Vebashini Naidoo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vebashini-naidoo-4260a96a/) and Inger Fabris-Rotelli (https://www.up.ac.za/statistics/article/2326974/dr-inger-fabris-rotelli) from R-Ladies Johannesburg (!!) will discuss how to create and share reproducible code with R Markdown and the workflowr R package (https://jdblischak.github.io/workflowr/index.html).

For more a bit more information about workflowr pulled from the website above: "The workflowr R package helps scientists organize their research in a way that promotes effective project management, reproducibility, collaboration, and sharing of results. Workflowr combines literate programming (knitr and rmarkdown) and version control (Git, via git2r) to generate a website containing time-stamped, versioned, and documented results. Any R user can quickly and easily adopt workflowr."

WHO is this for?

  • If you are new to R & how to organize and share your R code!
  • If you analyze data in R, but are looking for better project management strategies!
  • If you collaborate with other researchers and want to learn about best practices for reproducibility, collaboration, and sharing of results in R!
