This week Alex show us his research workflow. How he starts a project, and moves through the different software of analysis and organizing to produce a paper. Although the this episode contains audio, we have a recorded this on a video format and you can find video here. Listening to the audio may be helpful but we strongly encourage to check out the video.
Note: The audio episode is a shortened version. The portion where we show how to pull your code into overleaf using GitHub is only in the video version.

Alex’s tip: use minimum working examples to both debug and build complex code. Example/more explanation: (click here).
Other tip: Preferred STATA Graphing Scheme Blind Schemes or ssc install blindschemes, replace all then set scheme plotplainblind HT: Coady Wing
Most excellent Keanu movies to watch (from video): Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Point Break
BONUS: Grant McDermott offered a suggestion on twitter: “One suggestion, which will simplify life on the R side, is to use renv instead of manually configuring your project libs.This will automatically snapshot your project environment, create a project-specific library, add to gitignore, etc. Here’s a test repo for you to try out. Video link at the bottom too if you’re interested. Just clone and run renv::restore() and it will take care of everything for you. Pretty sweet. (click here)
