Participants will learn what kinds of documents and materials they should create and preserve; the information the documents should contain; and how they should be formatted and organized. Topics include raw data, analysis data, scripts, metadata, readme files, project organization, and naming conventions. Examples will be provided in R, but this information can be applied to any quantitative programming environment. The are no prerequisites.
