rOpenSci is very excited to announce our first peer-reviewed statistical Rpackages! One of rOpenSci’s core programs is software peer-review, where we use bestpractices from software engineering and academic peer-review to improvescientific software. Through this, we aim to make scientific software morerobust, usable, and trustworthy, and build a supportive community of practitioners.

I recently made the most difficult decision I’ve had to take thus far as a journal editor. That decision was ultimately to accept the paper; that probably doesn’t sound like a difficult decision until I explain that I made this decision despite a referee saying I should reject the paper with no opportunity for resubmission not once, but twice.
