Best Way to Archive R files for Thesis -
i close finish master thesis. , during time got lot of .r files. trial , error , more serious. archive stuff graders can access them if want , can use them in future if needed. best format in r achieve goal, please? r project worth trying? thank you!
it's great question , wish more academics plan this. recommend putting on github common way share code in numerical computing community these days. including in thesis good, easier people use if on github.
sharing whatever have better sharing nothing, because people can see did. if have more time make nicer, suggest:
- documenting clarity
- removing extraneous code , keeping pertains thesis
- for each specific result in thesis, provide specific script generates result. if have figures, provide script generates exact figure.
this did python code used analyze data in paper published in academic journal. way, reads paper , unclear findings or how generated them, can take @ code , see how analysis performed. here github repository created this: https://github.com/cxrodgers/rodgers2014
to ensure reproducibility, it's best document versions of modules or software packages (e.g., r) used, or copy them software repository well.
