Our mission
Our mission is to promote evidence-informed health decision-making by producing high-quality, relevant, accessible systematic reviews and other synthesised research evidence.
Our work is internationally recognised as the benchmark for high quality information about the effectiveness of health care.

ProjectTemplate for R

ProjectTemplate is a system for automating the thoughtless parts of a data analysis project

Just read the overview. If you are not already doing these things, by any means, then see what this package has to offer immediately. It will make your life better.
If you are not convinced yet, then read the sections listed on the left. They do so, so much.
One nice example is the great flexibility provided in its configuration. For example, automatically converting loaded data.frame to data.table is just one flag, very nice.

One of them by analogy is to operate a 28 ton earth moving machine powered by a 2 horsepower (hp) engine attached to an unlimited fuel supply (use your imagination).
It doesn’t matter how capable the machine is or the value of the fuel you are using, the engine is insufficient, but will run for a while, before it “burns out”.
