About us
rOpenSci fosters a culture that values open and reproducible research using shared data and reusable software
We do this by
Creating technical infrastructure in the form of carefully vetted, staff and community-contributed R software tools that lower barriers to working with scientific data sources on the web
Making the right data, tools and best practices more discoverable
Creating social infrastructure through a welcoming and diverse community
Promoting advocacy for a culture of data sharing and reusable software
Building capacity of software users and developers and fostering a sense of pride in their work
