metadata using csvy

[jenmunoz]

I am wondering if when the reviewers run the Rscript for the metadata .csvy, it will rewrite the file and delete all the info included in the metadata manually. That is not ideal!

@jenmunoz I completely agree that its not ideal! I think that a good solution is to somehow separate the file with the metadata from the one that your script produces. Here are some options:

• have your script write a file like mydata_tidy.csv and then create a metadata file called mydata_with_metadata.csvy or something.
• You could write a CSV, then create your YAML metadata by hand and save the new file as .csvy (then they can have the same name, but different file extension)
• Write your YAML by hand and keep it in a separate metadata.yml file.

But whatever happens, there is no risk of your reviewers accidentally modifying your work. I've made sure that they do not have permission to do so!
