Adding new cases

You need to first download a copy of this repo to your computer. After you are done with the process described below, submit a pull request.

1. Getting cases from Google Form responses

Las víctimas de María (Responses)

If you don't have permission, ask Ana Campoy, Omaya Sosa, or Larry Fenn to help.

  • Export the sheet directly:

File > Download as ... > Microsoft Excel(.xlsx)

  • Delete all the cases in the spreadsheet up to the Last Updated date at the top of this Readme document you just downloaded. Save it.

  • Put the newly-saved file into the data folder: data/Las víctimas de María (Responses).xlsx.

2. Generate bitacoras

Run getBitacoras.R

3. Get information from bitacoras

  • Inform Laura Candelas (CPI), who will coordinate verification phone calls using the bitacoras in the folder bitacoras/Empty/

  • Gather only the complete bitacoras to the folder bitacoras/Filled/

  • Run script processBitacoras.R

4. Copy edits and translation

Send the file file data/forProcess/for_translation_copyedits.xlsx to Laura and Ezequiel for copy edits and translation. They need to do three things:

  • Spanish copy editing for column text_field_es (Laura)
  • Translate the column text_field_es to column text_field_en and copy edit text_field_en (Ezequiel)
  • Translate the column causes_en to column causes_es (Laura)

(The person who does copy edits should also do a general additional verification to make sure qualtitative information in text_field matches other basic info, such as gender (as inferred from name), clinical cause of death, mechanism of death, age, etc, and make corrections or flag cases accordingly. )

When getting back the file, please save it and replace the exising data/forProcess/for_translation_copyedits.xlsx

5. Merge it back into the database

Run merge.R
