[mrwunderbar666]

Collect here rules and guidelines for adding tools

• "name" should always be as short as possible. Full name of abbreviations and acronyms are stored in "other names" and can be repeated in the "description" text
  • Affective Norms for English Words ➡️ ANEW
  • "The General Inquirer: A Computer System for Content Analysis and Retrieval Based on the Sentence as a Unit of Information" ➡️ General Inquirer Dictionaries
• If there are duplicated entries, the older entry is retained, the newer entry is rejected.
  • exception: the new entry has significantly more information and is of higher quality
  • in any case, the "unique_name" field has to be checked afterwards in the canonical entry
• the fields for CRAN, PyPI, GitHub are reserved for official implementations of the tool. If a third-party package exists for tool implementation, then it should be added in the section for "Materials" and cleary highlighted that it is not by the original authors.
  • If the third-party implementation provides a substantial extension to the original tool, then it should be a separate entry. This is decided on a case-by-case basis
