Our Structure
The R Validation Hub champions a level structure, comprised of many workstreams that contribute toward their focus areas and activities. Find each workstream’s duties below as well as the members that support them.
If you wish to contribute to any of our efforts, please visit our Contribute page.
Strategic Workstream
The Strategic Workstream has the responsibility of aligning on longer-term strategic goals. The intention is that this workstream is to become a floating set of representatives from each of our workstreams.
Communications Workstream
The Communications Workstream focuses on how we build connections across the R world, specifically with our neighboring initiatives: the R Consortium, PhUSE, PSI AIMS, the R Submissions Working Group, and ROpenSci. This working group also supports the effort to make the R Validation Hub more intentional with how we organize ourselves and look into best means to disseminate information.
Repositories Workstream
The Repositories Workstream supports a transparent, cross-industry approach of establishing and maintaining a repository of validated R packages.
{riskassessment} Application Workstream
The {riskassessment} Workstream leads the development of the risk assessment Shiny app (an extension of the {riskmetric} package) that provides a graphical interface to the package’s functionality.
{riskmetric} Workstream
The {riskmetric} Workstream leads the development of the {riskmetric} package that supports the idea of risk-based evaluation of R packages.
