deanonymize: Associate personal identity with usage data

In scimapClient: Collects and Reports Usage Data on R Packages

Description

Associate personal identity with usage data

Usage

deanonymize(name, webpage, pubspage)

Arguments

name	Your name, as shown in author lists (if you publish papers), or "" if you don't want to give a name
webpage	A website about you, or "" if you don't want to give a site
pubspage	A website that lists your publications, such as an academic publications list page or your Google Scholar citations page; or "" if you don't want to give a site

Details

Adds name, webpage, and publications page metadata to the usage packet. You could do this with addUserMetadata; this function simply uses standard metadata field names to do so.

We (the operators of scisoft-net-map.isri.cmu.edu) may infer the same user for other R sessions run by the same R installation. Deanonymizing is optional, and you can fill just some of the fields if you like.

The advantage of deanonymizing is that you can help package authors find literature that may have relied on their package. This can help them justify the time they spend maintaining packages, or help them allocate their time to supporting packages that are most useful to scientists.
