An R package to create a standard project structure for reproducible research

tidyproj

The goal of tidyproj is to create a standard directory structure for scientific projects, including a code, data, and products directory. This way, all projects will look the same, making it easier to load and save data in different projects.

You can see an example directory created with tidyproj in inst/extdata. The directory structure looks like this:

exampledir <- system.file("extdata", "exampledir", package = "tidyproj")
fs::dir_tree(exampledir)
#> /tmp/Rtmp6OxAsJ/temp_libpath9cfde46e58d41/tidyproj/extdata/exampledir
#> ├── README.md
#> ├── code
#> │   ├── 01_first_analysis.Rmd
#> │   ├── 02_second_analysis.Rmd
#> │   ├── 03_third_analysis.Rmd
#> │   └── 04_fourth_analysis.Rmd
#> ├── data
#> │   └── DATA_DESCRIPTION.Rmd
#> └── products
#>     ├── figs
#>     ├── plots
#>     ├── result_files
#>     └── tables
