Convert Among Citation Formats

Converts among many citation formats, including 'BibTeX', 'Citeproc', 'Codemeta', 'RDF XML', 'RIS', 'Schema.org', and 'Citation File Format'. A low level 'R6' class is provided, as well as stand-alone functions for each citation format for both read and write.

Get 'SNP' ('Single-Nucleotide' 'Polymorphism') Data on the Web

A programmatic interface to various 'SNP' 'datasets' on the web: 'OpenSNP' (< https://opensnp.org>), and 'NBCIs' 'dbSNP' database (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/>). Functions are included for searching for 'NCBI'. For 'OpenSNP', functions are included for getting 'SNPs', and data for 'genotypes', 'phenotypes', annotations, and bulk downloads of data by user.

R Client for the eBird Database of Bird Observations

A programmatic client for the eBird database (< https://ebird.org/home>), including functions for searching for bird observations by geographic location (latitude, longitude), eBird hotspots, location identifiers, by notable sightings, by region, and by taxonomic name.

An R Interface to 'figshare'

An R interface to 'figshare'.

Species Trait Data from Around the Web

Species trait data from many sources, including sequence data from NCBI (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>), plant traits from BETYdb, and data from EOL Traitbank and BirdLife International.

R Interface to 'FishBase'

A programmatic interface to 'FishBase', re-written based on an accompanying 'RESTful' API. Access tables describing over 30,000 species of fish, their biology, ecology, morphology, and more. This package also supports experimental access to 'SeaLifeBase' data, which contains nearly 200,000 species records for all types of aquatic life not covered by 'FishBase.'

'NOAA' Weather Data from R

Client for many 'NOAA' data sources including the 'NCDC' climate 'API' at < https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/webservices/v2>, with functions for each of the 'API' 'endpoints': data, data categories, data sets, data types, locations, location categories, and stations. In addition, we have an interface for 'NOAA' sea ice data, the 'NOAA' severe weather inventory, 'NOAA' Historical Observing 'Metadata' Repository ('HOMR') data, 'NOAA' storm data via 'IBTrACS', tornado data via the 'NOAA' storm prediction center, and more.

NASA POWER API Client

An API client for NASA POWER global meteorology, surface solar energy and climatology data API. POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources) data are freely available for download with varying spatial resolutions dependent on the original data and with several temporal resolutions depending on the POWER parameter and community. This work is funded through the NASA Earth Science Directorate Applied Science Program. For more on the data themselves, the methodologies used in creating, a web-based data viewer and web access, please see < https://power.larc.nasa.gov/>.

A General-Purpose Package for Dynamic Report Generation in R

Provides a general-purpose tool for dynamic report generation in R using Literate Programming techniques.

Downloading Supplementary Data from Published Manuscripts

Downloads data supplementary materials from manuscripts, using papers' DOIs as references. Facilitates open, reproducible research workflows: scientists re-analyzing published datasets can work with them as easily as if they were stored on their own computer, and others can track their analysis workflow painlessly. The main function suppdata() returns a (temporary) location on the user's computer where the file is stored, making it simple to use suppdata() with standard functions like read.csv().
