Abstract
This paper discusses the interest in utilizing R, a programming language, in soil physics for enhanced data reproducibility. Reproducibility is challenging across scientific disciplines, including soil science, and it is encouraged by demands for transparency from funding bodies and governments. Open and reproducible soil physics research can benefit the scientific community. With a focus on open science practices, the authors developed {infiltrodiscR}, leveraging existing R knowledge in soil physics. The package facilitates analysis of infiltration data, demonstrated through analysing changes in infiltration using published data. Results align with previous findings, showcasing {infiltrodiscR}'s potential in promoting reproducibility in soil science research.
本文讨论了在土壤物理学中使用 R（一种编程语言）来提高数据可重复性的兴趣。包括土壤科学在内的各个科学学科都面临着可重复性的挑战，而资助机构和政府对透明度的要求也鼓励可重复性。开放和可重现的土壤物理学研究可以造福科学界。作者以开放科学实践为重点，开发了{infiltrodiscR}，充分利用了现有的土壤物理学 R 知识。该软件包便于分析渗透数据，通过使用已发布的数据分析渗透的变化进行了演示。结果与之前的研究结果一致，展示了{infiltrodiscR}在促进土壤科学研究可重复性方面的潜力。
期刊介绍：
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
