R can save and reload the user's workspace between sessions via an .RData file in the current directory. However, long-term reproducibility is enhanced when you turn this feature off and clear R's memory at every restart. Starting with a blank slate provides timely feedback that encourages the development of scripts that are complete and self-contained. More detail can be found in the blog post Project-oriented workflow.
