Y para el reto del día de hoy (6, Dimensions), otro mapa de @biomolic.bsky.social en el que, usando R, ha añadido relieve a un mapa geológico de Asturias de mediados del Siglo XX!

Como siempre, el código está disponible en el repo de GitHub!

Comenzamos el reto #30DayMapChallenge 2025!!

El tema de hoy es: Puntos, así que hemos pensado en hacer un mapa... con las ubicaciones de los y las integrantes de EcoInformática AEET!
Es un mapa interactivo #leaflet, que además puedes ver alojado en nuestra web (ecoinfaeet.github.io/miembros.html)

When publishing a paper about an R package, how do you ensure the source code is permanently stored? CRAN or GitHub does not grant long-term persistence. Is issuing a DOI via linking GitHub with Zenodo a good idea for R packages? Or are there better ways? Maybe @ropensci.org knows.

Still fascinated with #webR and its potential for teaching stats

Here students can play (even from their phones) and find out themselves how the p-value depends on sample size

Just over a week to go until the #30DayMapChallenge kicks off!

If you're thinking about using #RStats for some or all of the challenge, you might find the section on visualizing spatial data in "The Art of Visualization with #ggplot2" helpful! 📊

Points representing different time zone locations on a world map, with points colored by geographical region. Title and subtitle are shown in the bottom left, with an inset bar chart shown on the bottom right being used as a legend. Faceted area chart arranged in a grid shaped like the United States, showing percentage of votes per party over time. An enlarged version of the area chart for California is used as a legend on the left hand side.

It is time to recognize research software as a valuable scientific contribution in itself, beyond a tool — and to support it

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases.

This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions.

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!

🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

I've added a few new features to {grateful}, the package that facilitates citation of #rstats packages, and I'd love feedback before submitting to CRAN 🧵
grateful: Facilitate citation of R packages The goal of grateful is to make it very easy to cite R and the R packages used in any analyses, so that package authors receive their deserved credit. By calling a single function, grateful will scan the project for R packages used and generate a BibTeX file containing all citations for those packages. grateful can then generate a new document with citations in the desired output format (Word, PDF, LaTeX, HTML, Markdown). These references can be formatted for a specific journal, so that we can just paste them directly into our manuscript or report. Alternatively, we can use grateful directly within an Rmarkdown or Quarto document. In this case, a paragraph containing in-text citations of all used R packages will (optionally) be inserted into the Rmarkdown/Quarto document, and these packages will be included in the reference list when rendering.
