An important part of a scientific project, such as a journal paper or a PhD thesis, is accessing datasets. To keep things reproducible datasets should be accessible, either provided in the repository itself or in a remote location. Also for reproducibility, it’s important to be able to check if the data you get is the same as the data you expect.
I wanted to share my technique for downloading and accessing datasets that strives for maximum reproducibility and user-friendliness.
