A checklist for completing a project

#1 Verify that the research log is complete and clear.
If something is confusing now, it will be very confusing
when you really need the information.

#2 Verify that you can replicate your results.
Move the do-files to a new directory and run the master do-files.
Do not over-write your current Stata logs since they will be very
useful if you encounter a problem.

#3 Verify that all results in the paper, book, or
presentation are linked to a do-file through hidden text
within the paper.

#4 Post supplementary analyses on the web.

#5 Clean-up stray files that have accumulated.
Delete files that aren't needed and put the rest of the files in
the directory where they belong.

#6 Archive the do-files, log files, datasets, documentation,
and drafts of your paper.
