  • Numeric and categorical data have been assigned correctly. If they've not been, then you've downloaded the data correctly. Sometimes commas are decimals...
  • You've not got the unit names in the column names
  • You've removed metadata from the data itself
  • You've added meta-data if it's there :D
  • You've used a wrapper
  • You've not downloaded a file to the hard drive in a specific place (i.e., only use tempdir. but always use the wrappers)
  • Go through the list of variables that are already in the database. If you think yours should be one, submit a pull request on the cleaning.R file
  • gsub(" ", "_", species) !!!
  • um isn't a unit; use µm (copy from here if you need to)
  • Authors have given permission to use data
