3 years ago A research compendium is sharing your data and code in a reproducible way.
If someone said a research compendium isn't necessary because the methods section describes the analysis, how would you respond?
we did not include a description
What sort of information in the DESCRIPTION might be essential to future researchers who want to reproduce or build on your work?

1) What version of the prerequisites do you have? This should include RStudio, R, tidyverse, devtools, and rrtools. The last updated versions.
2) In your words, how would you briefly describe a research compendium? A research compendium is sharing your data and code in a reproducible way.
3) Consider a paper you contributed to (whether you were on the author list or not). Were the data and code published with the paper? If so, how? Only a very small note with a small database. We shared a Rmarkdown file with the code and a CSV file with the data.
4) Say another scientist wants to reproduce your results. What challenges do you think they would run into? It was a small dataset, so I think it was easy to follow. However, we did not include a description or a README.md file which would be more helpful to understand.
