contactsurveys (development version)

  • Added a package logo.

contactsurveys 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2026-08-21

  • download_survey() now also stores a reference.json file alongside the downloaded survey files, holding the survey’s title, authors, year, version and DOI, so downstream tools can cite the survey without a further Zenodo query (#130).

  • download_survey() no longer warns when saving to a directory other than contactsurveys_dir(). Where files are saved and whether they persist is controlled by, and documented on, the directory argument, so the warning was redundant — and it previously fired even on the default tempdir() (#142).

  • Fixed list_surveys() returning a non-Zenodo DOI for surveys whose Zenodo record links a published journal article, which caused download_survey() to fail. The survey URL and version ordering are now derived from the OAI header identifier, so results do not depend on the order in which Zenodo lists a record’s metadata identifiers. Resolves #145

contactsurveys 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2026-01-31

This is a new package split off from the socialmixr package. It handles all interaction with the Zenodo repository containing social contact surveys, including listing available data sets, downloading data sets, and obtaining citations.
