Welcome to the PBfR_stats wiki!

This page describes how to re-create the Privacy Basics for Researchers report.

Install prerequisities

• Install R and Rstudio, see the Introduction to R instructions on how to do this
• Install Quarto. You can either run install.packages("quarto") in Rstudio, or download and install Quarto from the Quarto website.
• Install and configure git and GitHub. See the instructions for the Reproducible Code workshop how to do this.

Get permissions

• Get at least push access to this repository (e.g., via existing maintainer or via RIS ITS)
• Get access to the ULearning module as a teacher. Colleagues from Education Support can help if needed.
• Get access to the custom report "Privacy basics for researchers e-learning" within the Ulearning platform. This is a custom-made report with the faculty information per e-mail address that is enrolled. Faculty-information is not included by default in the registration information of participants in Ulearning but is necessary for the reporting to the CPO and central privacy officers. Ulearning Support should be able to provide you access to this report.

Creating the report

1. Clone the repository to your local device.
2. Create a folder raw in the data folder and download the necessary files to this folder.
3. Open the file index.qmd in Rstudio and click “Render” (alternatively, go to your terminal and run quarto render index.qmd). This will create the HTML file (index.html) in the docs folder, and it will update the processed data files in the data/processed folder with the new date.
4. CHECK that the raw data files are NOT tracked by git. Otherwise, if you commit your edits, the raw data files (which include people’s email addresses) will be uploaded to GitHub, which is not what we want.
5. Commit your edits (example commit: git commit -m "run report [month] [year]") and push them to GitHub. If you wait a bit, GitHub pages will now host the new version of the HTML file on https://utrechtuniversity.github.io/PBfR_stats/.
