S1E7 - Alex's Research Workflow: Stata, Github, R & Overleaf
Manage episode 276810204 series 2819936
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.
Co-host: Alex Hollingsworth - Assistant Professor, O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Follow Alex @ajhollingsworth
Co-host: Sebastian Tello-Trillo - Assistant Professor, Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. Follow Sebastian @dsebastiantello
SHOW NOTES:
Longer video episode with overleaf overview: (click here).
GitHub repo of the code used in the episode: (click here) and associated Dropbox folder: (click here).
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)
