- When publishing a paper about an R package, how do you ensure the source code is permanently stored? CRAN or GitHub does not grant long-term persistence. Is issuing a DOI via linking GitHub with Zenodo a good idea for R packages? Or are there better ways? Maybe @ropensci.org knows.Oct 28, 2025 12:23
- In my opinion, Zenodo is the safest option. But CRAN offers a sort of long-term persistence: the sources of a package remain available even after it has been archived.
