The life-cycle of an R package

DOI

Abstract

Here, I document the overall longevity and continued maintenance of the totality of R packages published in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, a mainstay for methodological work and R packages in ecology. I conclude that published packages are well maintained, and remain viable long after the average PhD or postdoc appointments. However, (survival) bias and privilege of the authors should be further explored with an in depth survey on career paths.
