blogdown is an R package that enables the creation and maintenance of static websites and blogs using R Markdown and Hugo (or other static-site generators). Developed by Yihui Xie and team, it provides functions to initialize sites, write posts, manage themes, and deploy with minimal fuss. It seamlessly blends R code chunks and web content, ideal for data storytellers and technical bloggers.

...Each cheat sheet is a single (or double) page PDF that condenses important syntax, functions, workflows, and best practices into a visually organized format ideal for quick reference. The repository contains source files (R Markdown or LaTeX) that generate the cheat sheets, version history, and metadata (title, author, description) for each. It covers topics such as data wrangling, data import, modeling, visualization, RStudio IDE shortcuts, Shiny development, and the tidyverse suite (dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, purrr). These cheat sheets are widely used by R learners, educators, and practitioners as quick reference tools, and they often ship with RStudio by default or are linked from RStudio’s help/documentation pages. ...

In this tutorial, we describe a workflow to ensure long-term reproducibility of R-based data analyses. The workflow leverages established tools and practices from software engineering. It combines the benefits of various open-source software tools including R Markdown, Git, Make, and Docker, whose interplay ensures seamless integration of version management, dynamic report generation conforming to various journal styles, and full cross-platform and long-term computational reproducibility. The workflow ensures meeting the primary goals that 1) the reporting of statistical results is consistent with the actual statistical results (dynamic report generation), 2) the analysis exactly reproduces at a later point in time even if the computing platform or software is changed (computational reproducibility), and 3) changes at any time (during development and post-publication) are tracked, tagged, and documented while earlier versions of both data and code remain accessible.

...It includes an assortment of exercises, sample datasets, and instructional code that cover the core steps of a data science project: data ingestion, cleaning, exploratory analysis, modeling, evaluation, and visualization. Many of the modules demonstrate best practices in R, such as using the tidyverse, R Markdown, modular scripting, and reproducible workflows. The repository also shows examples of linking R with external resources — APIs, databases, and file formats — and integrating into larger pipelines. It acts as a learning scaffold for students or beginners transitioning to more advanced data science work in R, offering a hands-on, example-driven approach. ...
