ARTE (Article Reproducibility Template & Environment) workflow folder structure
Description
Illustration of a suggested folder and file system for editing articles that are dynamic and reproducible.
The TIER Protocol 4.0 served as the foundation for this proposal, which was intended to be modified in Quarto using Rstudio, for instance, then published on GitHub Pages.
An example of its deployment is provided here: https://phdpablo.github.io/article-template/
According to Domingos and Batista's (2021) suggested content (files) recommendations, the figure illustrates the design of the proposal while accounting for the three primary TIER Protocol 4.0 folders (Data, Scripts, and Output). The proposal for the TIER Protocol 4.0 was modified to take into account that the research narrative would be edited in a dynamic Quarto-type document (*.qmd), published on GitHub Pages (docs/) following Rstudio rendering, and potentially even produce a .pdf file of the article; *.qmd denotes a collection of Quarto files containing the standard sections of a scientific article (Introduction, Theoretical Framework, Methods, etc.); the other folders indicated in the root (Adm, docker, renv) are for project management and for controlling dependencies and the environment, if adopted by the researcher.

Abstract (Portuguese)
Essa proposta foi baseada no Protocolo TIER 4.0, para ser editada no Quarto, através do Rstudio, por exemplo, e para ser publicada no GitHub Pages.
Segue o exemplo do template em produção: https://phdpablo.github.io/article-template/
A figura representa a concepção da proposta tendo em consideração as três principais pastas do Protocolo TIER 4.0 (Dados, Scripts e Resultados), conforme indicações de conteúdo (arquivos) descrito por Domingos e Batista (2021). A proposta do Protocolo TIER 4.0 foi adaptada para prever que a narrativa da pesquisa seja editada em um documento dinâmico do tipo Quarto (*.qmd), e publicada no GitHub Pages (docs/) depois de renderizada no Rstudio, podendo gerar, inclusive, um arquivo .pdf do artigo; *.qmd Indica um conjunto de arquivos Quarto que contempla as seções clássicas de um artigo científico (Introdução, Referencial Teórico, Metodologia, etc.); as demais pastas indicadas na raiz (Adm, docker, renv) são para o gerenciamento do projeto e para o controle de dependências e ambiente, se adotado pelo pesquisador.
