# -------------------------------------------- # CITATION file created with {cffr} R package # See also: https://docs.ropensci.org/cffr/ # -------------------------------------------- cff-version: 1.2.0 message: 'To cite package "targets" in publications use:' type: software license: MIT title: 'targets: Dynamic Function-Oriented ''Make''-Like Declarative Pipelines' version: 1.8.0.9009 identifiers: - type: doi value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.targets abstract: Pipeline tools coordinate the pieces of computationally demanding analysis projects. The 'targets' package is a 'Make'-like pipeline tool for statistics and data science in R. The package skips costly runtime for tasks that are already up to date, orchestrates the necessary computation with implicit parallel computing, and abstracts files as R objects. If all the current output matches the current upstream code and data, then the whole pipeline is up to date, and the results are more trustworthy than otherwise. The methodology in this package borrows from GNU 'Make' (2015, ISBN:978-9881443519) and 'drake' (2018, ). authors: - family-names: Landau given-names: William Michael email: will.landau.oss@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1878-3253 preferred-citation: type: article title: 'The targets R package: a dynamic Make-like function-oriented pipeline toolkit for reproducibility and high-performance computing' authors: - family-names: Landau given-names: William Michael email: will.landau.oss@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1878-3253 journal: Journal of Open Source Software year: '2021' volume: '6' issue: '57' url: https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.02959 start: '2959' repository: https://ropensci.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/ropensci/targets commit: f1fd2bf6a13e96ca0a5f6f26e718dad5841eb544 url: https://docs.ropensci.org/targets/ contact: - family-names: Landau given-names: William Michael email: will.landau.oss@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1878-3253
