ctb is an R package role specifically for authors who have made smaller contributions to an R package

What is best practice for handling large numbers of contributors?

Notes

  • Some contributors who have made PRs to a package's github repository may not even display their real name (so contacting to obtain details could be somewhat burdensome if there are many).
  • Some packages have 100+ contributors. For example, dplyr, which currently has 182 contributors.

It may be appropriate to define a Core Team on your web site, then cite like:

@Manual{,
title = {Your contribution},
author = {Core Team},
year = {2019},
url = {Your web site},
}

See citation().
