Reproducibility + organization

All written work should be reproducible, and the GitHub repo should be neatly organized.

• Points for reproducibility + organization will be based on the reproducibility of the entire repository and the organization of the project GitHub repo.
• The repo should be neatly organized as described above, there should be no extraneous files, all text in the README should be easily readable.

TipThe easiest way to ensure reproducibility

Have a team member clone the repository to a new location, install required packages as specified in the lockfiles (i.e. renv::restore()), and try to render all Quarto files and run any R scripts. If everything runs without error, your project is (likely) reproducible!

Evaluation criteria

Category	Less developed projects	Typical projects
Reproducibility (code)	Required files are missing. Quarto files do not render successfully (except for if a package needs to be installed).	All required files are provided. Project files (e.g. Quarto, R scripts) render without issues and reproduce the necessary outputs.
Reproducibility (packages)	renv.lock file does not include all required packages. External users have to manually install packages in order to get code to evaluate.	renv.lock includes all required packages. Manual package installation is not required to render any code in the repo (e.g. Quarto documents, R scripts).
Data documentation	Codebook is missing. No local copies of data files.	All datasets are stored in a data folder, a codebook is provided, and a local copy of the data file is used in the code where needed.
File organization/readability	Documents lack a clear structure. There are extraneous materials in the repo and/or files are not clearly organized.	Documents (Quarto files and R scripts) are well structured and easy to follow. No extraneous materials.
