sivirep: A package for strengthening epidemiological surveillance and report generation—Use case in Colombia
This paper presents sivirep, an open-source R package created to streamline epidemiological surveillance and reporting in public health. sivirep is part of the Epiverse TRACE-LAC initiative, which aims to strengthen the infrastructure and epidemic response to infectious diseases in Latin America and the Caribbean. This package automates the downloading, preprocessing, and preparation of data from Colombia’s epidemiological surveillance and reporting system, “SIVIGILA”. sivirep also provides a customizable R Markdown template for subsequent analysis and automatic generation of epidemiological reports. sivirep was developed in Spanish to improve the engagement of local users, but can be used worldwide, keeping both potential global uses aligned with local needs. This tool also can facilitate teaching and learning on SIVIGILA data source for students and researchers from various fields.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
