Reproducibility

When using data from external sources it’s a good idea to take note of when data was downloaded, which version (if possible) and with what.

Reproducibility with weathercan can be achieved by taking note (or better yet, compiling reports) with the following information:

  1. Your computer information (and date)
    • R version
  2. Specific information on packages you’re using
    • Citations if presenting in papers/reports
  3. The stations list version

For example:

# Work
library(weathercan)
s <- stations_search("Winnipeg", normals_years = "current")
w <- weather_dl(s, interval = "month", start = "2021-01-01")

# Reproducibility
stations_meta()
citation('weathercan')
devtools::session_info() # Install devtools if you don't have it
