This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

I was first introduced to William Stafford Noble's paper "A Quick Guide to Organizing Computational Biology Projects" when Ivan Gonzalez and I taught Harvard last November. Noble describes how scientists in Computational Biology should set up their project folders so code, results, outputs, figures, and papers are all in easily understandable locations. He also writes about how one should run experiments (using driver scripts) to make workflows reproducible, readable, and understandable to others (and your future self).
