# sjmisc - Data and Variable Transformation Functions 
[](https://cran.r-project.org/package=sjmisc) [](https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00754) [](https://strengejacke.github.io/sjmisc/) [](https://cranlogs.r-pkg.org:443/) [](https://cranlogs.r-pkg.org:443/)
Data preparation is a common task in research, which usually takes the most amount of time in the analytical process. Packages for data preparation have been released recently as part of the _tidyverse_, focussing on the transformation of data sets. Packages with special focus on transformation of _variables_, which fit into the workflow and design-philosophy of the tidyverse, are missing.
**sjmisc** tries to fill this gap. Basically, this package complements the **dplyr** package in that **sjmisc** takes over data transformation tasks on variables, like recoding, dichotomizing or grouping variables, setting and replacing missing values, etc. A distinctive feature of **sjmisc** is the support for labelled data, which is especially useful for users who often work with data sets from other statistical software packages like _SPSS_ or _Stata_.
The functions of **sjmisc** are designed to work together seamlessly with other packages from the tidyverse, like **dplyr**. For instance, you can use the functions from **sjmisc** both within a pipe-workflow to manipulate data frames, or to create new variables with `mutate()`. See `vignette("design_philosophy", "sjmisc")` for more details.
