DESCRIPTION:R is a powerful data analysis tool for researchers. It’s a stat
 istical programming language that is supported by a free\, open-source edi
 ting environment (RStudio) that is dedicated to building an inclusive and 
 diverse R community. Like all tools\, R has a learning curve and it can be
  difficult to know where to start. This seminar is a guided introduction t
 o R and some of the ways that it can be used to support research in inform
 ation studies.\n\nNo previous knowledge of statistics or of programming is
  assumed. An interest in quantitative research would be helpful.\n\nThis w
 orkshop will be hands-on using examples of data taken from public sources\
 , so please bring your laptops with you. As well\, please install R and RS
 tudio (in that order) before coming to the workshop. The process takes abo
 ut 20 minutes in all. To install R: https://cran.r-project.org/. For RStud
 io: https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/ (choose the free RStudi
 o desktop version).\n\nPart 1 will introduce some basics on:\n\n\n	Setting 
 your work environment\n	Importing data into R from different sources\, part
 icularly CSV files and websites.\n	Preparing data for analysis\n	Describing 
 your data at a very basic level\n\n
