Dear rOpenSci friends, it’s time for our monthly news roundup! You can read this post on our blog.Now let’s dive into the activity at and around rOpenSci!rOpenSci HQ WIP: WebAssembly support in R-universe! Thanks to some help from George Stagg, we added experimental support for building WebAssembly binary packages. This makes it possible to install packages in webr, directly from the R-universe.
The Rogue Scholar science blog archive is adding important functionality to existing science blogs. The first step after a blog has signed up with Rogue Scholar is archiving the content. This is not only needed for long-term preservation but also enables full-text search and DOI registration with meaningful metadata.
Hi everyone, as promised, today you will hear more about the research data infrastructure conference where I and around 680 other people attended last week in Karlsruhe, Germany. Grab a cup of coffee of tea and enjoy today’s edition!
Maintaining a package can be a lonesome activity, which sometimes poses a problem if you prefer team work or if you encounter a very thorny-for-you problem.Beside belonging to a supportive community of maintainers (like rOpenSci 😉), for collaborative help and commiseration you can try to build a community of contributors around your package!In this post, we’ll explore one tool helping you towards that goal: “help wanted” issues, with which your
TL;DR: peer-review times appear to have been growing for a long time. The effects of COVID-lockdowns on peer-review are surprising. A few months ago, I was invited to referee a research paper. So, I guess the editor thought that I was one of the 2 best people in the entire world to review this thing. That’s how it works, right? Flattered, I flagged the editor’s email to signal its importance and I got straight to work!
Hopefully I will soon break out of this funk of posting about either Mastodon or Twitter. But not yet! This post is to say that: I made a static archive of tweets for @quantixed and for @clathrin. There, you can read all my posts, which ended in 2022. How did I do it and why? I made the archive with this excellent tool written by Darius Kazemi.
It is difficult to foster innovation and perform high quality research when the underlying data is not accessible and usable. Data and data services should be offered via so-called research data infrastructures , think of user-friendly web platforms, repositories, and databases.
Un nuevo artículo de nuestra serie de entrevistas “Conociendo a las estrellas del universo R”. Nuestro objetivo es presentar a los equipos y personas que están detrás del desarrollo de software y paquetes que utilizamos y que están disponibles a través del R-universe. Queremos destacar y explorar diferentes equipos y proyectos de todo el mundo, el trabajo que realizan, sus procesos y usuarios.
A new post of our interview series “Meeting the stars of the R-universe”. We aim to introduce the teams and people behind the development of software and packages many of us use and which are available through the R-Universe. We want to highlight and explore different teams and projects around the world, the work they do, their processes and users.
