Description
Summary: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.
