Its worth reading this thread on organizing documents in a data science project... I suspect there are concepts which are very helpful for you as well.

Data Science Project Template for R

I often struggle when organizing a project (file structure, RStudio's Projects...) and haven't yet settled on an ideal template. I recently came across this project template for python. I was wondering if there is such a thing for R and whether we, as a community, should strive to come up with a set of best practices and conventions. The python template seems to be overkill for most of the projects I work on, but it would be nice to have something similar for R. Is there something like this already available?
