The R-universe platform

R-universe is rOpenSci’s platform for improving publication and discovery of research software in R.

R-universe allows users and developers of R packages to…

• Discover: R-universe provides a searchable catalogue for R software, articles, datasets, anywhere in the ecosystem. That catalogue is indexed and ranked using R specific features.

• Learn: R-universe serves rendered material and extensive background information to learn about a package and get started using it.

• Publish: R-universe is an open platform for running personal cran-like package repositories to make your work visible and accessible to a big audience, with or without CRAN.

• Develop: R-universe provides a zero config development environment for continuous integration (identify upcoming breakage before the release), experimental R features, new platforms such as WebAssembly, etc.
