Please edit that file --\u003e\n\nThank you for considering submitting your package to the rOpenSci suite. All\nthe packages contributed by community members go through a process of [open peer review](https://ropensci.org/blog/2017/09/01/nf-softwarereview/) to ensure a consistent level of quality for our users. This process also allows us to ensure that your package meets our guidelines and provides opportunity for discussion where exceptions are requested. \n\nThis README is a short intro to Software Peer Review  for you as a potential author or reviewer. For more information, consult our [gitbook \"rOpenSci Packages: Development, Maintenance, and Peer Review\"](https://devguide.ropensci.org/).\n\n**Our [code of conduct](https://ropensci.org/code-of-conduct/) is mandatory for everyone involved in our review process.**\n\n* [Why and how submit your package to rOpenSci?](#why-submit)\n* [Why and how review for rOpenSci?](#why-review)\n* [Further resources](#further)\n* [Editors and reviewers](#editors)\n\n# \u003ca href=\"#why-submit\" name=\"why-submit\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eWhy and how submit your package to rOpenSci?\n\n-   First, and foremost, we hope you submit your package for review **because you\n    value the feedback**.  We aim to provide useful feedback to package authors\n    and for our review process to be open, non-adversarial, and focused on\n    improving software quality.\n-   Once aboard, your package will continue to receive **support from rOpenSci\n    members**.  You'll retain ownership and control of your package, but we\n    can help with ongoing maintenance issues such as those associated with\n    updates to R and dependencies and CRAN policies.\n-   rOpenSci will **promote your package** through our [webpage](https://ropensci.org/packages/), [blog](https://ropensci.org/blog/), and [social media](https://twitter.com/ropensci). Packages in our suite also get a [documentation website that is automatically built and deployed after each push](https://devguide.ropensci.org/building.html#docsropensci).\n-   rOpenSci **packages can be cross-listed** with other repositories such as CRAN\n    and BioConductor.\n-   rOpenSci packages that contain a short accompanying paper can, after review,\n    be automatically submitted to the\n    [Journal of Open-Source Software](http://joss.theoj.org/) for fast-tracked\n    publication.\n    \nIf you want to submit a package, read our [guide for authors](https://devguide.ropensci.org/softwarereview_author.html) before opening a submission issue in this repository.\n\n## \u003ca href=\"#why-review\" name=\"why-review\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eWhy and how to review packages for rOpenSci?\n\n-   As in any peer-review process, we hope you choose to review **to give back\n    to the rOpenSci and scientific communities.**  Our mission to expand\n    access to scientific data and promote a culture of reproducible research\n    is only possible through the volunteer efforts of community members like you.\n-   Review is a two-way conversation. By reviewing packages, you'll have the\n    chance to **continue to learn development practices from authors and\n    other reviewers**.\n-   The open nature of our review process allows you to **network and meet\n    colleagues and collaborators** through the review process.  Our community\n    is friendly and filled with supportive members expert in R development and\n    many other areas of science and scientific computing.\n\n\nTo volunteer to be one of our reviewers, please fill out this [short form](https://ropensci.org/software-reviewer/) providing your contact information and areas or expertise. We are always looking for more reviewers with both general package-writing experience and domain expertise in the fields packages are used for.\n\nPlease also read [our guide for reviewers](https://devguide.ropensci.org/reviewerguide.html).\n\n## \u003ca href=\"#further\" name=\"further\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eFurther resources\n\nOur [gitbook \"rOpenSci Packages: Development, Maintenance, and Peer Review\"](https://devguide.ropensci.org/) also includes:\n\n* [a guide for editors](https://devguide.ropensci.org/editorguide.html)\n\n* [our policies](https://devguide.ropensci.org/policies.html)\n\n* chapters dedicating to good practice for package maintenance\n\n* different templates: [review template](https://devguide.ropensci.org/reviewtemplate.html), [editor's template](https://devguide.ropensci.org/editortemplate.html), [review request template](https://devguide.ropensci.org/reviewrequesttemplate.html).\n\nOur review process is always in development, and we encourage feedback and discussion\non how to improve the process on our [forum](https://discuss.ropensci.org/) and in the [ropensci/software-review-meta issue tracker](https://github.com/ropensci/software-review-meta/issues).\n\n# \u003ca href=\"#editors\" name=\"editors\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e Editors and reviewers\n\nrOpenSci's Software Peer Review process is run by our team of dedicated editors and reviewers.\nInformation on the current team, and the current status of software peer review, can be seen on our [interactive dashboard](https://ropensci-review-tools.github.io/dashboard/).\n\n```{r}\n#| echo: false\n#| results: 'asis'\nsource(file.path(\"scripts\", \"airtable-get-data.R\"), local = knitr::knit_global())\n\n```\n\n\n### Editor-in-Chief\n\n```{r}\n#| echo: false\n#| results: 'asis'\nsource(file.path(\"scripts\", \"airtable-get-eic.R\"), local = knitr::knit_global())\n\n```\n\n\n### Editorial team\n\n\nOur current team of editors for software peer-review includes:\n\n```{r}\n#| echo: false\n#| results: 'asis'\nsource(file.path(\"scripts\", \"airtable-get-editors.R\"), local = knitr::knit_global())\n\n```\n\n### Reviewers and former editors\n\nWe are grateful to the following individuals who have offered up their time and expertise to review packages submitted to rOpenSci.\n\n```{r}\n#| echo: false\n#| results: 'asis'\nsource(file.path(\"scripts\", \"airtable-get-reviewers.R\"), local = knitr::knit_global())\n\n```\n\nWe are also grateful to the following individuals who have previously served as editors.\n\n```{r editors_past, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}\ncat(gen_ed_out(editors_past), sep = \"\")\n```\n\nAnd the following who have served as guest editors.\n\n```{r guest-editors-out, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}\ncat(gen_ed_out(guest_editors), sep = \"\")\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fropensci%2Fsoftware-review","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fropensci%2Fsoftware-review","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fropensci%2Fsoftware-review/lists"}
