Webinar on Reproducibility tools in R developed for the Entomological Society of America, and delivered on November 11, 2015.
The following pieces of software will be demonstrated during the webinar:
You must install R before RStudio; I believe Git can be installed at any time.
- Why worry?

- All files should be human readable
- Explicitly tie files together
- Plan the organization, storage and sharing of your files
- Organizing your workflow
- Directory structure
- File naming conventions -- e.g. CamelBack style
- RStudio projects
- Concept of a Source Document as the target of all work
