When planning for data collection, especially in longitudinal studies, first consider how that data will be used. Ask yourself: - How will we combine data for analysis? - What unique IDs will allow us to do this? - How will we name/code items to combine data? - Will our data need restructuring?

I post a lot about how important it is to not just do data quality checks on your entire sample, but also by grouping variables (to uncover hidden errors). But @emilyriederer.bsky.social wrote a whole article about it! emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/groupin...

I receive some lab test results in a simple normal table. All results are numerical but sometimes the lab reports values in the following format: < 0.10 < 0.05 Any good strategy on dealing with this when working with these data in #rstats? Maybe @cghlewis.bsky.social ?

Did you know you could perform web crawling in R using the Rcrawler package?! Web crawling is about indexing and discovering URLs from a page, similar to what a search engine does. My tutorial below walks you through how to use the package: youtu.be/JIRh025E6Dk?...

About once a week someone reaches out to ask if I would be willing to meet (other freelancers wanting to connect, or someone looking to transition into freelancing) and I always say yes, b/c I feel really lucky to have been able to do this work for the last 3 years, and I'm happy to pay it forward.

If you build a data collection instrument in a tool like Qualtrics or REDCap or even a paper form, consider working through a series of pilot tests to ensure you collect quality, usable data!

🌱 today i'd like to talk a bit about code reproducibility an analysis is reproducible if its authors (& others) can run the code for it & get same results consistently reproducibility can mean: ✅ managing environments in which the code is run ✅ sharing input data ✅ writing clear documentation
