Suggestions #

Research compedium

I suggest using the structure commonly used for R packages with an adaptation for research compendia as reccomended by Marwick et al.:

Marwick, B., Boettiger, C., & Mullen, L. (2018). Packaging Data Analytical Work Reproducibly Using R (and Friends). The American Statistician, 72(1), 80–88. https://doi.org/10.1080/00031305.2017.1375986

This can easily be implemented using the rrtools` package.

Git

You don’t have to use git I would higly recommend it though as it eases collaboration. See the resources section for some recommendations on how to get started.
