Reproducible research is an essential part of scientific inquiry, and R is a tool that can help us achieve it.
Before adopting reproducibility, I often found myself returning to a trail of scattered scripts, searching one by one to figure out which ones I was working on. Although I showed up consistently, the struggle to manage my workflow was exhausting. Then, it hit me—I was missing the key ingredient that would transform my process: Reproducibility.
This is why I advocate for reproducibility as a compelling reason to learn R.
Starting with reproducibility, even as a beginner, makes learning R so much more meaningful and rewarding!
