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.
