Contributing - Get Involved!

We welcome input from our user base! PTX-QC has a very permissive BSD-3 clause License (see DESCRIPTION file), so feel free to fork, patch and contribute! There are many ways to get involved, you do not need to be a developer! - suggest a new metric (and why you think it's useful) by opening a new ticket here on GitHub. - suggest changes to existing metrics (improvements or bugfixes), see above. - suggest improvements to our documentation (e.g. additional vignettes) - write code (in R) and submit a Pull Request (PR).

Bug reporting / Feature requests

If you encounter a bug, e.g. error message, wrong figures, missing axis annotation or anything which looks suspicious, please use the GitHub issue tracker and file a report.

You should include - stage you encounter the bug, e.g. during installation, report creation, or after report creation (i.e. a bug in the report itself). - PDF/Html report itself (if one was generated). - version of PTXQC, e.g. see the report_XXX.pdf/html (where XXX will be the version) or see the DESCRIPTION file of the PTXQC package or call help(package="PTXQC") within R - error message (very important!). Either copy it or provide a screen shot.

Please be as precise as possible when providing the bug report - just imagine what kind of information you would like to have in order to track down the issue. In certain situations, the whole txt-folder or a single MaxQuant/mzTab file might be helpful to solve the problem.

For more information, e.g. installation, please visit the main README.md of PTX-QC.
