A request for #rstats help.

Scientific open infrastructure is the invisible backbone of research. It’s what connects scientists across disciplines + borders, builds essential skills, sparks collaboration, and preserves knowledge for future discovery.

Information about the roles of each author of a paper can help to build trust, integrity and responsible research assessment. Coordinated efforts are needed to consolidate progress.
