Dictionary script template

You may want to organize your research folder using small scripts, each designed for a part of your analysis plan.

Inspired from Reproducible Research in R

  • /folder
  • ../data
  • ../scripts
  • ../etc.

The dictionary might be located in scripts, under the name “dict.R”.

  • ../scripts/00_dict.R

If you haven’t, visit vignette("getting_started") and vignette("basic_workflow") for details on what this template does.
