How to Use This Book

Each chapter introduces a data management topic and includes worked examples, code chunks, explanations, and practice activities. Learners are encouraged to:

• Read each section carefully
• Run the code chunks in RStudio
• Modify examples to test their understanding
• Keep raw data unchanged
• Save generated outputs in the Outputs/ folder
• Use clear file names and reproducible project structure

The chapters are intended to be followed in order, but individual chapters can also be used as standalone reference materials.
