In this hands-on workshop, Publication-Ready Graphs using R, we walk you through the essentials of crafting beautiful, publication-quality visualizations—no prior R experience needed. Together, we explore the basics of data cleaning, learn how to build clear and effective plots using ggplot2, and see how to combine multiple plots with the patchwork package. We also share some practical tips on what makes a graph work (and what to avoid). You get plenty of practice along the way, and by the end, you’ll be ready to share your data stories with confidence.
