Workshop Details

Do you want to create better plots for publication? Do you struggle creating publication-ready tables in R? Then come learn how to use ggplot2 and some ggplot2 extension packages to create visualizations, and packages like modelsummary and gt to create tables. This workshop covers the basic syntax of ggplot2, how to create plots for different data types, how to customize a plot, how to create multi-panel figures, and how to create tables with descriptive statistics and regression results.
