R Weekly
R weekly provides weekly updates from the R community. You are welcome to contribute as long as you follow our code of conduct and our contributing guide.
We’re all about spreading content about R, be it blog posts, tutorials, screencasts, slidedecks, etc.
Please help us!
In general for feeds and one time sharing we prefer https over http.
Submit your blog RSS feed by submitting a PR adding a line to rss_feeds.csv
If your blog doesn’t have an RSS feed yet, look up for resources / help for doing it, it’s worth it!
What rules are there?
The RSS feed has to be mainly related to R, so if your content mixes R and baking posts please create a specific R feed. Now, if there’s one off topic post once in a while, it’s fine, we’ll remove it from the release.
Please💡 Use W3C Feed Validation Service to checks the syntax of Atom or RSS feeds.
We don’t need a full content RSS feed since we’ll only use links and titles.
What?
An URL to a free resource about R, or using R.
If it’s a book, we won’t advertise it unless there’s a free online version.
In posts/tutorials, the R code has to be visible or easy to find.
We check for duplicates over the last issues.
How?
We prefer PRs because they’re more transparent and make the workflow smoother for us (merging a PR vs copy-pasting from the form output) but if you’re afraid of GitHub use the form… or open a PR anyway, we’ll teach you!
When?
It’s best to submit links between Monday and Friday, because we pick links for our highlights poll on Fridays. 
The issue is frozen on Sundays.
No time is indicated because it depends on the timezone & time availabilities of the volunteer editor in charge of the release.
For nitty-gritty details see the process release editors follow.
[!TIP]
Each weekend we usetidyRSS::tidyfeed()on each entry and check for posts created within last 10 days - if yours fails for whatever reason, your content will not be fetched automatically.
From links contributed by the community via PRs or https://rweekly.org/submit.
From editors, in particular the editor in charge of the release that week, looking over their own Twitter likes, feed readers etc. But really, if you can and are aware of R Weekly, it’s better to proactively submit your content (or content by someone else and that you found great!) rather than to hope we’ll have seen it. We miss cool stuff all the time despite our best efforts!
