On of the ways in which rOpenSci does such a stellar job of package “quality control” is through its open, peer-review onboarding process.
I had the chance to take part in this by reviewing Nicholas Tierney’s awesome visdat package 📦.
In what I’m told is an rOpenSci first, Nick and I both wrote up our experiences for the rOpenSci blog — giving you a peek into the reviewer and reviewee process. So, go check them out!
