Ever wondered what a Data Steward does on Fridays? It’s mostly about cleaning up datasets, managing metadata, and making sure the data is ready for next week! 👨💻📈
I've retweeted this post by @Cghlewis before, but I just followed its example and it saved me tons of work analyzing data for my dissertation. I used a data dictionary to select variables, then rename them. Super easy.
I can't remember the last time I renamed variables manually in #rstats. I always use my data dictionary for renaming! That way, if I ever need to update names in the future, I'm only updating once in my data dictionary, not in both my data dictionary and script. 🙌
A question that comes up a lot in my consulting work is, "What are the most important data management practices a team can get started early, that will lead to better quality data?" I wrote about some of the core practices to implement in this post. 👇 cghlewis.com/blog/project_b…
