NPSdataverse: NPSutils
Baker R and Patterson J . NPSdataverse: NPSutils. 2023. National Park Service
R utilities for accessing data packages on the National Park Service's digital repository, DataStore. This project houses references to the individual releases (versions) of the R package NPSutils. If you need to cite a specific version of NPSutils, please cite that reference. If you want to cite the concept of the NPSutils package, please cite this reference. NPSutils is used to download data packages from the National Park Service's digital repository, DataStore. NPSutils will also allow for data to be loaded into R using the metadata documentation as well as allowing scriptable interfaces with data visualization and dashboard tools such as Power BI. Although NPS users on an internal network or VPN may use NPSutils to access restricted data packages, all aspects of NPSutils are written with the general public in mind and the tools are broadly useful to all people working with NPS data.
