The open-source source repository for 'R for Data Science' (2nd edition), a free online book teaching data science with R, built with Quarto. It covers importing, tidying, transforming, and visualizing data using the tidyverse and reproducible research practices.

Use cases

  • learn data science with r
  • learn ggplot2 data visualization
  • learn to clean and wrangle data in r
  • free r programming textbook
  • learn tidyverse workflow
  • reproducible research in r

When to choose

  • you want a free, well-regarded introduction to data science in R
  • you prefer learning through hands-on exercises with solutions available
  • you want current best practices with the tidyverse

When to avoid

  • you need a general R language reference rather than a data science workflow book
  • you work primarily in Python or another language
  • you need a printable textbook under a permissive license (it is CC BY-NC-ND)
