How to be a pollinatoR
summary
R users should preserve foreign-format details: Stata extended missings (e.g. 316 cases coded as “don’t know” and 100 cases as “not asked”) collapse to NA unless recovered via haven conversion semantics; Excel cell formatting can be read with openxlsx or tidyxl to keep review flags. Exporting with foreign can generate a SAS import script so data “just works.” Use renv to lock packages, svDialogs for simple prompts, and a Shiny dashboard to let analysts run dozens of reports safely and learn from logs.
