---+ Recommendations for User Workstation Directory and E-mail Folder Structure | See also [[http://nicercode.github.io/blog/2013-04-05-projects][this]] It is important to organize your work in a very hierarchical tree so that you will be able to find documents, e-mails, datasets, etc., and so that directory listings do not become huge. We have found that the more sub- and sub-sub folders you create the better you will be able to keep your system organized. Note that one way *not* to split files into separate directories is by applications using the various files. For example, it is better to keep <nop>LaTeX, Openoffice, and R files related to a single project in the same directory. ---++ An Example Directory Structure for Users <verbatim> |-- R # for general-purpose R packages you develop | |-- Design | | |-- CVS | | | |-- Entries | | | |-- Repository | | | `-- Root | | |-- DESCRIPTION | | |-- INDEX | | |-- R | | | |-- CVS | | | | |-- Entries | | | | |-- Repository | | | | `-- Root | | | |-- Design.Misc.s | | | |-- Design.s . . . . | |-- test |-- bin # contains personal executables | |-- syncFiles # tells rsync which files to sync | |-- syncfromvu # script to sync home computer | |-- sync2vu # script to sync work computer |-- data # global, example, teaching data |-- doc # general documents - not programs | |-- Department # or analyses | | |-- Admin | | |-- Computing | | | |-- hardware | | | |-- software | | |-- Faculty | | |-- Goals | | |-- MS | | |-- OtherAreas | | | |-- Bioinformatics | | | |-- Meharry | | |-- Philosophy | | |-- Problems | | |-- Projects | | | |-- Outside | | | |-- VUwide | | |-- Resources | | |-- School | | |-- Staff | | |-- Web | | `-- todo | | |-- Staff | |-- Papers | |-- Proposals # after grant award, move to ~/projects | | |-- Cardiology # example divisions/departments | | |-- Forms | | | `-- biosketch.pdf | | |-- GI | | |-- K30 | | | `-- supportLetter.sxw | | |-- Medicine | | |-- Meharry | | |-- Neurology | | | `-- pd.doc | | |-- Pediatrics | | |-- methods | | | |-- budgeting.phases | | | |-- nih.howto.txt | | | `-- subcontract.forms.txt | | |-- Orthopedics | | |-- Radiology | |-- R | |-- Schedule | |-- Seminars | |-- Talks # slides, handouts, 1 folder/talk | |-- cv | |-- data | |-- databank | |-- emacs | | |-- hints | |-- html | |-- images | |-- latex | | |-- NIH | | |-- emacs | | |-- hints | | |-- pdf | | |-- texinput | |-- letters | | |-- Proposals | |-- miscSystems | | `-- openoffice | |-- perl | |-- refs | |-- reports | |-- reviews | | |-- Books | | |-- Departments | | |-- Grants | | |-- Letters | | |-- Promotions | |-- societies | |-- travel | | `-- Reservations | |-- twiki | | `-- pages | `-- writing |-- methods.research | |-- Bayes | |-- Economic | |-- bootstrap |-- projects # perhaps the most important dir | |-- Cardiology # organize by major area, within this | |-- Gerontology # have a folder for each project; sometimes | |-- Hospital # have a directory for each PI | |-- Medicine . . . | |-- misc | |-- reduce # major outside project |-- tmp # holds emacs backups etc. `-- web |-- latex </verbatim> ---++ An Example E-mail Folder Structure <verbatim> |-- Consulting # for small consulting projects, | |-- BioNumerik # 1 folder/client | |-- GSK |-- Department | |-- Admin | |-- Computing | | |-- Accounts | | |-- DBManagement | | |-- Hardware | | |-- Software | | |-- Todo | | `-- Web | |-- Faculty | | |-- MS | | |-- PhD | | |-- Recruiting | | |-- SecondaryAppt | | `-- Visitors | |-- Goals | |-- GrantProposals | | |-- ClinInvest | | |-- HSR | |-- MS | | |-- Admin | | |-- JobClasses | | |-- Recruiting | |-- OtherAreas | | |-- BME | | |-- Bioinformatics | | |-- CCI | | |-- CancerCenter | |-- Seminars | |-- Teaching | | |-- CE | | |-- GradProgram | | |-- IGP | | `-- MSCI | `-- Todo | `-- Web |-- Grants | |-- ClinInvest | `-- MethodologyTraining |-- Letters |-- Methods | |-- DBM | |-- Research | `-- Stat | |-- Bayes | |-- Bootstrap |-- Personal |-- Projects | |-- GSK | | `-- REDUCE | | |-- Contract | | |-- Data | | `-- Travel | |-- Merck | | `-- Travel | |-- Papers | | `-- CADIndex | |-- Pfizer | | |-- Course | | |-- Distributions | | |-- Todo | | `-- Travel | `-- WHO |-- Software | |-- BUGS | |-- HTMLJavascript | |-- LaTeX | |-- Linux | | |-- CVS | | |-- Debian | | |-- Office | | |-- Security | |-- Misc | |-- R | | |-- CRAN | | |-- Debian | | |-- Devel | | |-- Documentation | | |-- Emacs | | |-- GUI | | |-- GraphicsLowLevel | | |-- GridLattice | | |-- ImportExport | | |-- ModelingFunctions | | |-- Namespace | | |-- Perl | | |-- Remote | | |-- S4 | | |-- SQL | | |-- Sweave | | |-- Teaching | | |-- Tricks | | |-- Validation | | |-- Web | |-- Teaching | |-- Todo |-- Teaching | |-- Biostat Modeling | | |-- Data | |-- CI | |-- Methods.Procedures | |-- Online Courses | |-- ShortCourses | | `-- RMS `-- Todo |-- Invitations |-- MeetingCommittees |-- Papers |-- Personal |-- Reviews `-- TravelTalks |-- ASA </verbatim> ----- Useful Links * [[http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005510][Good practices in statistical computing]]
