# Data Marshalling Template
This is where you will begin "marshalling" the data in the analysis.
The goal is to take some raw data and begin to turn it into a product that can be ingested in later analyses.
The directory structure below is designed to help encourage this process.
./raw/ : This will contain your Raw data.
./releases/ : This will contain your data ouptuts.
./scripts/ : These are the tools you will use to process the raw data and turn it into the releases.
./tmp/ : This is where you keep intermediats. It will not be stored in the git repository unless you specifically include it.
./codebooks/ : These are the documentation you will find and write for your data sources.
./journals/ : This is where you keep your notebooks to track what you are doing. Just keep a text file open as you are reading documentation, coding, etc, and note things down.
./references.bib : Every time you find a potential datasource, write down a citation for it here **OR IN THE REFERENCES MANAGER YOU ARE ALREADY USING**. I recommend Zotero.
./README.md : This file is to keep track of what you are doing. You should change it as you go, to make sure people who read this know where to get started.
