Developing the ARcenso package with rOpenSci and presenting it to R communities
A few years ago, the R community started using ORCID (“Open Researcher and Contributor ID”) to persistently and uniquely identify individual authors of packages in DESCRIPTION.
The idea is the following: you enter authors’ ORCID as a specially named comment in their person() object.
For instance I can be represented by:
person("Maëlle", "Salmon", , "[email protected]", role = c("cre", "aut"),
comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-2815-0399"))
Although anyone could use your ORCID, maliciously or inadvertently1, you definitely benefit from using your ORCID in your work. In the case of R packages, CRAN pages and pkgdown websites feature a pretty icon linking to your ORCID profile that in turn can link to your favorite online presence. Recognition! Personal branding!
