rOpenSci is expanding the scope of our software peer-review system to encompass explicitly statistical software. As part of this we have developed new tools to help prepare software for submission. One of these, the autotest package, implements and automates rigorous testing of all function inputs, while another, the srr package, enables documentation of, and reporting on, how and where code meets our sets of category-specific standards. Developers of packages to be submitted to this newly expanded system will be expected to apply both of these tools prior to submission.

This Community Call will provide an introduction to the project and feature developers who have helped to test and refine the tools, and will feature a live walk-through of the processes of applying these tools to a package.

All welcome. No RSVP needed

Cheers,

Stefanie Butland
