The 'Maintainer' is the person the Bioconductor core team will actually 
correspond with; it is not an honorific title but rather a practical 
one. Your non-programming supervisor would be a poor choice for this 
role. Of course they can still be an author, as they have most likely 
contributed ideas or other resources that have shaped the software.


One thing about authors is that they gain both responsibility for the 
software (they implicitly accept responsibility for the soundness of the 
software) and control over the software (e.g., so strongly disagreeing 
with the direction the software develops that they request that it be 
removed).

Authors/creators/contributors go in the authors (@R) field in the
description. These are the people who created the package.

Copyright holder is a formally separate concept. This is the person or
entity that *owns* the software. This goes in the copyright field in the
description.

Maintainer is the person or persons that bug reports, feature requests etc
should go to. They maintain the software and need not be an author (I
think), but very often will be. These go into the maintainer field in the
descrptuon. I think this is closest to what you mean by correspondence but
I'm not certain.

Hi everyone,

I’m developing a Bioconductor package in which I’m creator and author but
someone else is the corresponding autho. Is the following code correct for
the R package description file? Is the corresponding author being cited?
She is supervising the overall procedure but she is not a programmer.

Authors@R: c(

   given = "A", family = "S**",

Sorry I think I read that too fast. Imo tlif a pesos contributes
 substantially to the design of a package they can be listed in the
authors. I am (non-first) author for a couple of packages for which I
heavily contributed to the design but did not write any code. Note that the
design contributions should generally be at lesst domewhat substantial for
this approach imo.

If that is the case for your supervisor in my opinion she belongs in the
author list. If she manages you but wasn't rrally involved in deciding how
the package should behave or what it shoukd do and didn't do any
implementation then it gets murkier.

Anyway that's how I treat authorship for r packages.

Hope that helps,

So r packages don't really have a formal "corresponding author" concept,
though they do have a number of related concepts that may do what you need:

Authors/creators/contributors go in the authors (@R) field in the
description. These are the people who created the package.

Copyright holder is a formally separate concept. This is the person or
entity that *owns* the software. This goes in the copyright field in the
description.

Maintainer is the person or persons that bug reports, feature requests etc
