In this course you will take 5 Steps to Good Data Science Practice in R:

1. Version control with git: never lose a file or parts of an analysis again

2. Reproducible computing with R: unit test your functions for full quality control

3. Questionable research practices: avoid p-hacking, HARKING and Co.

4. Good statistical practice: use correct p-values, sample size planning and multiple testing

5. Tools in R for meta data: benefit from the power of metadata to reproduce research results
