Resources
This carefully curated collection of resources will help you find packages and learning resources to help you on your R journey.
RMarkdown
The rmarkdown package helps you create dynamic analysis documents that combine code, rendered output (such as figures), and prose. It allows you to do data science interactively within the RStudio IDE, reproduce your analyses, collaborate and share code with others, and communicate your results with others. R Markdown documents can be rendered to many output formats including HTML documents, PDFs, Word files, slideshows, and more.

Rotate the damn plot
Ilya Kashnitsky criticizes common academic data visualization errors, advocating for simple improvements in graph readability. He suggests using dotplots over multi-category bar/column plots, recommending the placement of continuous variables on the x-axis and categorical variables on the y-axis. Kashnitsky outlines the method to digitize the data from a plot image using WebPlotDigitizer, and expresses disappointment in mainstream Large Language Models' (LLMs) failure to automate this task accurately. He also promises to document additional dataviz principles and to enhance educational content through his BlueSky social media account.
