Reviewing packages for better science
summary
rOpenSci runs an open peer-review process for R packages that enforces concrete checks: valid licensing, automated tests with minimum coverage, function and vignette documentation, API fit within the R ecosystem, and reproducible examples. The review targets data-access, workflow, and text-mining packages with clear scientific use cases and requires packages to add capability or perform measurably better; the workflow uses two reviewers plus an editor, public issue discussion, a written review article, and a stats page tracking accepted packages and outcomes.
