The first few chapters of the Basics section were heavily sourced and adapted from “Software Carpentry: R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis.” Thomas Wright and Naupaka Zimmerman (eds): Version 2016.06, June 2016 https://github.com/swcarpentry/r-novice-gapminder, DOI.


The Good File Naming chapter was heavily sourced from “File organization for reproducible research.” Data Carpentry Reproducible Research Committee. 2016.


Small sections in the Data Munging section where inspired by text in the online version of “R 4 Data Science”, Garrett Grolemund & Hadley Wickham.


Images contained throughout the materials and watermarked with Scriberia were sourced from “Illustrations from the Turing Way book dashes”, DOI. Images were created by Scriberia for The Turing Way community.
