Aug 24, 2023 | Data Science

R Weekly is a wonderful platform dedicated to spreading the word about all things R-related. This includes blog posts, tutorials, screencasts, and slidedecks. If you’d like to have your work featured in R Weekly, here’s a friendly guide to help you navigate the submission process!

Submitting Your Content

There are two primary ways to share your content with R Weekly: through a regular RSS feed or via one-off sharing.

Regular R Posts: Submitting Your RSS Feed

If you maintain a blog that regularly covers R topics, follow these steps:

  • Your blog should have an RSS feed. If you haven’t set one up yet, it’s highly recommended to do so!
  • Submit your blog’s RSS feed by creating a pull request to add a line in rss_feeds.csv.
  • Ensure the content is mainly related to R. For example, if you also write about baking, it’s advised to create a dedicated R feed to maintain focus.
  • Use the W3C Feed Validation service to check your RSS feed’s syntax.
  • Remember, we only need link titles and do not require the full content of your posts.

One-off Sharing

For those wanting to share a specific resource, follow these guidelines:

  • Provide an URL to a free resource that discusses R or utilizes R.
  • If sharing a book, ensure there’s a free online version available.
  • For posts or tutorials, make sure the R code is visible or easily accessible.
  • Check for duplicates from past issues to avoid unnecessary repetition.

To submit one-off links, navigate to the submission page.

Understanding the Submission Process

Imagine you are a chef gathering ingredients to make a delicious meal. Each ingredient must be fresh, relevant, and fit into the recipe, just like submitting your content to R Weekly. You start by gathering ingredients (links) that contribute to a delightful dish (R Weekly post). Your submission becomes a part of a weekly menu that serves the community.

Where Does the Content Come From?

  • RSS Feeds: Collected from submitted feeds
  • Community Contributions: Links submitted via PRs or a simple form
  • Editors’ Picks: Editors can bring in delightful discoveries from their own explorations

As we take pride in celebrating content, it’s better to proactively submit instead of waiting for it to be discovered. We recommend that you continually share valuable resources to ensure the community is kept well-fed with knowledge!

Communication & Engagement

Should you encounter any issues during your submission process, here are some helpful tips:

  • Make sure your RSS feed is well-formed and validated using the W3C service.
  • Check if your submission aligns with R-centric content and ensures there is no mix with unrelated topics.
  • If using GitHub feels overwhelming, simply opt for the submission form, and our team will assist you!
