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.
