The theorytools package offers an integrated suite of tools for creating, maintaining, and reusing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) theories in R. Designed to support transparent and collaborative theory development, the package enables users to formalize theories, track changes with version control, assess pre-empirical coherence, and derive testable hypotheses. Aligning with open science principles and workflows, theorytools facilitates the systematic improvement of theoretical frameworks and enhances their discoverability and usability.
You can install the development version of theorytools from GitHub with:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("cjvanlissa/theorytools")View the package website here.
Every user-facing function in the package is documented, and the documentation can be accessed by running ?function_name in the R console, e.g., ?create_fair_theory.
Moreover, you can check the package vignettes by running vignette(package = "theorytools"), and read specific vignettes by running, e.g., vignette("fairtheory", package = "theorytools").
You can cite the R-package with the following citation:
