Companion Package for 'Reproducible Research Using R'.

reproresearchR

reproresearchR is the companion R package for the open educational resource Reproducible Research Using R by Christian Martinez.

The package is designed to support reproducible research workflows in R by providing:

• teaching datasets used throughout the textbook
• helper functions for accessing chapter scripts
• reproducible examples aligned with the book’s lessons
• a bridge between learning R and applying reproducible workflows in real projects

This package is especially useful for students, instructors, and self-learners who want a structured way to practice transparent, organized, and repeatable analysis.

Why this package?

reproresearchR was built to make reproducible research more approachable and more practical. Rather than learning workflows in the abstract, users work directly with datasets, scripts, and examples tied to a full textbook and teaching framework.

The goal is to help learners build habits that support:

• organized project structure
• transparent analysis
• reproducible code
• clear documentation
• shareable research outputs.
