In authoritative: Parse and Deduplicate Author Names

authoritative

authoritative provides functions to clean authors names, with a focus on the context of R package authors.

You can install the stable version of this package from CRAN:

install.packages("authoritative")

or the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("epiverse-connect/authoritative")

These examples illustrate some of the current functionalities:

library(authoritative)

pkg_description <- system.file("DESCRIPTION", package = "authoritative")
authors_r_pkg <- read.dcf(pkg_description, "Authors@R")
parse_authors_r(authors_r_pkg)
#> [[1]]
#> [1] "Hugo Gruson <hugo@data.org> [aut, cre, cph] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4094-1476>)"

This package is currently a concept, as defined by the RECON software lifecycle. This means that essential features and mechanisms are still being developed, and the package is not ready for use outside of the development team.
