+## Overview of Folder Structure 
+
+```
+│projectdir          <- Project's main folder. It is initialized as a Git
+│                       repository with a .gitignore file.
+│
+├── experiment       <- Files for running the experiment
+|
+├── notebooks        <- Pluto, Jupyter, Weave or any other mixed media notebooks.*
+|
+├── papers           <- Materials related to paper, publishing
+|
+├── _research        <- WIP scripts, code, notes, comments,
+│   |                   to-dos and anything in an alpha state.
+│
+├── plots            <- All exported plots go here, best in date folders.
+|   |                   Note that to ensure reproducibility it is required that all plots can be
+|   |                   recreated using the plotting scripts in the scripts folder.
+|
+│
+├── scripts          <- Various scripts, e.g. simulations, plotting, analysis,
+│   │                   The scripts use the `src` folder for their base code.
+│
+├── src              <- Source code for use in this project. Contains functions,
+│                       structures and modules that are used throughout
+│                       the project and in multiple scripts.
+│
+├── test             <- Folder containing tests for `src`.
+│   └── runtests.jl  <- Main test file
+│
+├── README.md        <- Top-level README.
+|
+├── .gitignore       <- produced by Dr. Watson
+│
+├── (Manifest.toml)  <- Contains full list of exact package versions used currently.
+|── (Project.toml)   <- Main project file, allows activation and installation. Produced by Dr. Watson
+|── (project_project_template.toml)   <-  This is for a content-wise description of your exepriment. 
+                                          Change "project_template" in the filename to your project name. 
+                        
+```
+
+\*Instead of having a separate *notebooks* folder, you can also delete it and integrate your notebooks in the scripts folder. However, notebooks should always be marked by adding `nb_` in front of the file name.
