structure you decide to use in your project's README (see

If your research is more qualitative in nature than quantitive, the same basic
principles of organization apply. However the overall goal may be to show iterative
analysis, reflection, and ethical managment of sensitive materials rather than rigid
data pipeline processng. For instance, your directory structure might include:

* `data/` which includes `interviews/`, `fieldnotes/`, and `documents/`
* `coding/` which includes `themes/` and `memos/`
* `outputs/` which includes `analysis_summaries/` and `reports/`
