Writing an article on how to efficiently import data within RStudio. Most students use the interface within RStudio to manually download the files they need, including me ;), but that can be more efficient, especially when it comes to batch importing. We have a section about large datasets; however, I think it would be beneficial to create a more general block about just importing data.
My plan is not to restate the basics but to explore some advanced techniques. Specifically, I'm considering dedicating sections for using for loops and an other using the pattern argument alongside relative paths.
I'm also eager to learn along the way , so if any seasoned coders have additional resources to share, I'd appreciate it.

The aim is to create an article that discusses, more efficient, shorter ways to import data in R. This article purpose is not to discuss the basics but extends to more advanced strategies.
