Funders and academic employers are increasingly interested in seeing evidence for the impact academic research generates. For software such as {cbcTools}, this is hard to accomplish because the typical metrics for promotion and tenure that matter (publications, grants, and citations) don't really apply. The consequence is that there are increasingly fewer and fewer incentives to develop packages like {cbcTools} 😞

The good news is you can help! If you have found {cbcTools} useful in any regard, please leave feedback here for other users, funders, and employers to view. This helps the package authors show how {cbcTools} is being used by academic and non-academic users to increase their productivity and work quality.

So please contribute some praise 😁! Tell us how cool this package is and how you use it in your work!

And if you write a paper using {cbcTools}, please cite the package in your publications, see: citation("cbcTools")
