The tidyverse is a collection of open source packages for the R programming language introduced by Hadley Wickham[3] and his team that "share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures" of tidy data.[4] Characteristic features of tidyverse packages include extensive use of non-standard evaluation and encouraging piping.[5][6][7]

As of November 2018, the tidyverse package and some of its individual packages comprise 5 out of the top 10 most downloaded R packages.[8] The tidyverse is the subject of multiple books and papers.[9][10][11][12] In 2019, the ecosystem has been published in the Journal of Open Source Software.[13]

Its syntax has been referred to as "supremely readable",[14] and some[15] have argued that tidyverse is an effective way to introduce complete beginners to programming, as pedagogically it allows students to quickly begin doing data processing tasks.[16][15] Moreover, some practitioners have pointed out that data processing tasks are intuitively easier to chain together with tidyverse compared to Python's equivalent data processing package, pandas.[17] There is also an active R community around the tidyverse. For example, there is the TidyTuesday social data project organised by the Data Science Learning Community (DSLC),[18] where varied real-world datasets are released each week for the community to participate, share, practice, and make learning to work with data easier.[19] Critics of the tidyverse have argued it promotes tools that are harder to teach and learn than their built-in, base R equivalents and are too dissimilar to some programming languages.[20][21]

The tidyverse principles more generally encourage and help ensure that a universe of streamlined packages, in principle, will help alleviate dependency issues and compatibility with current and future features.[22] An example of such a tidyverse principled approach is the pharmaverse, which is a collection of R packages for clinical reporting usage in pharma.[23]
