RStudio Connect

Make Your Research Reproducible

RStudio® and RStudio Connect make data analysis easier and provides powerful tools for sharing a spectrum of data products, static or dynamic, developed in R and Python: Dashboards, applications, APIs, reports, and so much more.

RStudio® offers an open-source, development environment for users to perform data analysis on their local workstation. The RStudio environment links to RStudio Connect to enable users to share their research findings to others.

RStudio Connect is a standalone publishing platform for the work your teams create in R or Python. Share Shiny applications, R Markdown reports, dashboards, plots, models, Jupyter Notebooks, and more.  Rstudio Connect can even be automated to update your content whenever you submit a commit to Git.

Who has access to RStudio Connect?

  • Access to RStudio Connect is restricted to faculty, staff and students of the University of Arizona.
  • Applicants must have a faculty member or research staff member as a sponsor. (Faculty and research staff may sponsor themselves.)
  • There are a limited number of RStudio Connect user seats available to campus.  Seat assignments will be reviewed each semester and sponsoring faculty may be asked about renewals.  It is recommended that research groups designate one, at most two, users to be responsible for publishing materials on behalf of the lab group.

Are there any limitations on use?

  • Publishing via RStudio Connect is for research purposes.  It is not to be utilized for course assignments. Faculty and students wanting to publish in relation to course activities should first use the public Shiny App services (see https://www.shinyapps.io/).
  • The expectation is that all published apps should be set to be publicly viewable. Requests should be made if viewing of the published materials needs to be limited or restricted.
  • Rstudio Connect is provided for distribution of lightweight apps.  Users needing greater compute power or large amounts of local storage should consider using the UA High Performance Computing System or CyVerse.
