Required

Data Organization in Spreadsheets by Kara Woo and Karl Broman - if there is one paper that I think is useful for everyone, it’s this one.
Absolute and Relative File Paths - sometimes understanding file paths can be difficult. This is a great follow up reading. The video is very helpful as well.
What are R packages?

Optional (Meike’s suggestions for BSTA 526 W24)

Projects in RStudio resources list Meike created for BSTA 511.
Exploring missing values in naniar . The notes for week 2 refer to the visdat package for visualizing missing values in your data. I also recommend the naniar package, and the link above is a great tutorial with an introduction to some really useful visualizations for missingness.
