  1. #AcademicChatter Hello, fellow academic chatters. I'm an experimental scientist. And I regularly have the problem of how to organize acquired data by different participants to a same experiment. I'd like to have some feedback of how other people do this. Not necessarily specific computer programmes (such as digital labbooks), but rather how-tos based on robust, basic things, such as text and csv files, folder structures etc. I'm often battling with the workflow which is including handwritten measurements, their digital counterparts, metadata for the measurements, codes for samples, all of these done by different people, but all will have to end in one final dataset, where I would like to be able to trace data back to the paper files, and their metadata. And all of this with not too much additional effort by everybody ;-) Have done this usually with some shared server space, but usually it ends up as something a bit difficult to get through. I'm now rather thinking about a system involving perhaps something based on #MarkDown or even #RMarkdown or #knitr etc. Any feedback much welcome 😁

  2. To the people analysing research data out there with R... I see #Quarto popping up everywhere and I am trying to figure out how it differs from #RMarkdown and why people are switching. So, have you used it? What are you using it for?

    I don't like that it seems to add another layer of software and whenever a company tells me I should be using their format, that makes me suspicious... Please help!

  3. I've made an autoformatter, linter, and LSP for Quarto, Pandoc, and RMarkdown documents! It's still very much a work-in-progress; only the formatter is reaching something resembling a mature state. Check it out at github.com/jolars/panache

  4. rOpenSci | All the Ways to Programmatically Edit or Parse R Markdown / Quarto Documents

    Argh only just seeing this doc now, wish I'd found it a couple of months ago 🤣 I was generating static Rmd from one with dynamically generated chunks. I ended up using whisker pulling in external R code templates supplemented with knitr hooks to do some extra customisation during chunk processing.

  5. Performing some quick statistical analyses in classic #RStats and neatly “knitting” them into a PDF using #RMarkdown, #knitr, and #MacTeX #texLaTeX.

    Call me old-fashioned, but I really enjoy this workflow. :awesome:

  6. R is wonderful: Creating a Supplement PDF full of summary & regression results tables, and estimated marginal mean plots, all completely auto-generated by the R Markdown code itself with no need for any manual post-modifications. 'gtsummary', 'ggplot2' rock! #Rstats #RMarkdown

  7. Next week I get to present an #RStats talk on writing code to be run by people with no programming experience that requires some interactivity.

    Have some examples of parameterised #RMarkdown documents; of #Shiny and using source to call more complex code without overwhelming them.

    I also plan on concentrating on the importance of training these staff on the differences between errors, warnings and messages (which are unhelpfully similar in appearance in R).

    Any other suggestions? (1/2?)

  8. @robyn If I stop videos and go back to a website or blog, I’ll get your advice on #Hugo through #RMarkdown as that seems like a fun route. I take all the advice I can get from people with actual #skillz. My two coworkers with PhDs in ML have me using PyCharm for my air quality project and another good coworker got me to dual boot my desktop into #Mint running on a USB. Wish I used a bigger USB as Mint is nice in my limited use so far

  9. @tinyspheresof @rkward Sorry for the late response. Currently, there is no such functionality in , except that one in the screenshot.
    But let me tell you about an upcoming feature called “Code navigation”. It is enabled in the latest AppImage (cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/educatio)
    It helps you to very quickly navigate the R and scripts. It will address your problem directly.

  10. A first today: I changed the citation style in my #rstats #Rmarkdown doc, and it was easy and it worked! Thanks to Nicolas Tierney's "Rmarkdown for scientists" rmd4sci.njtierney.com/citing-artic... and github.com/citation-sty.... Save the csl code in a file in your R project and add a YAML line. 😎

  11. I'm trying out #Rkward on my new #KDEneon install. Is there any way in an #Rmarkdown script to highlight the code blocks/chunks in the script editor? They now have the same background as the rest of the script, and don't really stand out.

    The three backticks / graves at the start and end of the code block do have a different background colour, but not the code in between.

  12. Как я за год написал шесть больших научных статей и несколько маленьких

    Без «литературных негров» и чатГПТ — личный рассказ об инструментах, технологиях и приёмах, которые помогли мне не вылететь из аспирантуры и догнать коллег. Открытые данные, Python, R, RMarkdown, Quarto, git и немного ИИ в помощь исследователю.

  13. Looking for tips on how to love #julialang Pluto.jl. So many people enjoy it and I just don't get it. Likely just me as I also dislike #Jupyter notebooks and prefer the "see all and be reproducible" style of #RMarkdown and #Quarto. Why F1 to see keyboard shortcuts. Why clunky Path/URL navigation?

  14. Writing manuscripts in #Quarto or #Rmarkdown?

    Here's how to easily generate an appendix citing the #rstats packages used with {grateful}

  15. @kupac I have all these same concerns about notebooks and more. I find #rmarkdown and #quarto much better than Jupyter, but they still suffer from similar problems.

    Unless I am explicitly planning on compiling an HTML report, I tend to stay away from these literate programming tools.

  16. I’m only just starting using #RMarkdown. Writing a #GIS lab has been enjoyable so far. If my life situation was different at graduation, I would have asked @paezha for a #postdoc. I think he uses it and #GitHub to collaborate with his students. There’s also all the cool urban #spatial #accessibility research he does.

  17. CW: R bashing / rant

    Holy cow is inferior to . 😠

    - WHY does it need to rerun EVERYTHING for hours when making a HTML/PDF?
    - WHY is the apparent solution (caching) so weird? No clear instructions, only blog posts with broken formatting everywhere.
    - WHY don't you at least see where it hangs during the process? No indication which line is currently executed?
    - WHY does making a PDF silently fail after hours?
