Open science using RMarkdown

JJ Merelo: “RMarkdown is a literary programming format that mixes the well known Markdown markup language with the R statistical programming language. Together, you can create active documents that, from raw data, elaborate table and statistics on the fly, and can be updated every time upstream data changes. Put them in a repository and use good practices to develop it, and publish it in an open access site, and you’ve got open science. In this talk we will show how RMarkdown is used to create and analyse data, and publish reports rapidly by leveraging all tools that R offers.”
