Standardize Data Science Workflows // Helper functions to standardizes common workflows in the USGS Data Science Community of Practice to produce more robust, reproducible pipelines. It contains helper functions to standardize (1) the organization of project repositories and (2) the creation ofpipelines from the 'targets' R Package (Landau et al. (2026) doi:10.5281/zenodo.18555866), using the DS CoP best practices. We draw upon community developed best practices as well as certain USGS-specific requirements. See Shrycock et al. (2023) doi:10.3133/tm7B2 for examples of these USGS requirements.
