rock - Reproducible Open Coding Kit

The Reproducible Open Coding Kit ('ROCK', and this package, 'rock') was developed to facilitate reproducible and open coding, specifically geared towards qualitative research methods. It was developed to be both human- and machine-readable, in the spirit of MarkDown and 'YAML'. The idea is that this makes it relatively easy to write other functions and packages to process 'ROCK' files. The 'rock' package contains functions for basic coding and analysis, such as collecting and showing coded fragments and prettifying sources, as well as a number of advanced analyses such as the Qualitative Network Approach and Qualitative/Unified Exploration of State Transitions. The 'ROCK' and this 'rock' package are described in the ROCK book (Zörgő & Peters, 2022; <https://rockbook.org>), in Zörgő & Peters (2024) <doi:10.1080/21642850.2022.2119144> and Peters, Zörgő and van der Maas (2022) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/cvf52>, and more information and tutorials are available at <https://rock.science>.

squids - Short Quasi-Unique Identifiers (SQUIDs)

It is often useful to produce short, quasi-unique identifiers (SQUIDs) without the benefit of a central authority to prevent duplication. Although Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) provide for this, these are also unwieldy; for example, the most used UUID, version 4, is 36 characters long. SQUIDs are short (8 characters) at the expense of having more collisions, which can be mitigated by combining them with human-produced suffixes, yielding relatively brief, half human-readable, almost-unique identifiers (see for example the identifiers used for Decentralized Construct Taxonomies; Peters & Crutzen, 2024 <doi:10.15626/MP.2022.3638>). SQUIDs are the number of centiseconds elapsed since the beginning of 1970 converted to a base 30 system. This package contains functions to produce SQUIDs as well as convert them back into dates and times.

behaviorchange - Tools for Behavior Change Researchers and Professionals

Contains specialised analyses and visualisation tools for behavior change science. These facilitate conducting determinant studies (for example, using confidence interval-based estimation of relevance, CIBER, or CIBERlite plots, see Crutzen, Noijen & Peters (2017) <doi:10/ghtfz9>), systematically developing, reporting, and analysing interventions (for example, using Acyclic Behavior Change Diagrams), and reporting about intervention effectiveness (for example, using the Numbers Needed for Change, see Gruijters & Peters (2017) <doi:10/jzkt>), and computing the required sample size (using the Meaningful Change Definition, see Gruijters & Peters (2020) <doi:10/ghpnx8>). This package is especially useful for researchers in the field of behavior change or health psychology and to behavior change professionals such as intervention developers and prevention workers.

yum - Utilities to Extract and Process 'YAML' Fragments

Provides a number of functions to facilitate extracting information in 'YAML' fragments from one or multiple files, optionally structuring the information in a 'data.tree'. 'YAML' (recursive acronym for "YAML ain't Markup Language") is a convention for specifying structured data in a format that is both machine- and human-readable. 'YAML' therefore lends itself well for embedding (meta)data in plain text files, such as Markdown files. This principle is implemented in 'yum' with minimal dependencies (i.e. only the 'yaml' packages, and the 'data.tree' package can be used to enable additional functionality).

limonaid - Working with 'LimeSurvey' Surveys and Responses

'LimeSurvey' is Free/Libre Open Source Software for the development and administrations of online studies, using sophisticated tailoring capabilities to support multiple study designs (see <https://www.limesurvey.org>). This package supports programmatic creation of surveys that can then be imported into 'LimeSurvey', as well as user friendly import of responses from 'LimeSurvey' studies.

justifier - Human and Machine-Readable Justifications and Justified Decisions Based on 'YAML'

Leverages the 'yum' package to implement a 'YAML' ('YAML Ain't Markup Language', a human friendly standard for data serialization; see <https://yaml.org>) standard for documenting justifications, such as for decisions taken during the planning, execution and analysis of a study or during the development of a behavior change intervention as illustrated by Marques & Peters (2019) <doi:10.17605/osf.io/ndxha>. These justifications are both human- and machine-readable, facilitating efficient extraction and organisation.
