Make your research life easier with the tools of reproducible research! In "Reproducible Analysis and Documentation with RStudio and R Markdown," we will focus primarly on two workflow-tools. First, we briefly review RStudio Projects to create a project-oriented workflow in your R scripts. The second, and more in-depth part of the workshop, is using R Markdown for literate programming. We will review R Markdown documents, which you can use to write complete papers. We will take a look at the new features in Visual R Markdown, such as citations and technical writing.

This is the first of our four-session series “Reproducible Research Practices: Make Your Research Life Easier.”  Other sessions include "Organize Your Files and Metadata for Transparent and Reproducible Research," "Version Control with GitHub," and "Sharing Your Data for Transparent and Reproducible Research."
