#### Mark Padgham

#### 2026-06-18

This package is part of rOpenSci’s suite of “Review Tools,” all of which are hosted at `github.com/ropensci-review-tools`. The primary tools (in alphabetical order) are:

1. The `autotest` package for “Automatic testing of R packages”
2. The `pkgcheck` package to “Check whether a package is ready for submission to rOpenSci’s peer-review system”
3. The `pkgstats` package which extracts “Historical statistics of every R package ever”
4. The `srr` package for “Software Review Roclets”

These four tools are intended to be used by all those engaged or even vaguely interested in developing packages for submission to rOpenSci’s system for peer-review of R packages. These packages comprise an integrated suite of tools, with this vignette briefly describing the intended use of each component.
