Risk-related information (like the prevalence of conditions, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests, or the effectiveness of interventions or treatments) can be expressed in terms of frequencies or probabilities. By providing a toolbox of corresponding metrics and representations, 'riskyr' computes, translates, and visualizes risk-related information in a variety of ways. Adopting multiple complementary perspectives provides insights into the interplay between key parameters and renders teaching and training programs on risk literacy more transparent (see <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.567817>, for details).

A set of tools to extract bibliographic content from the National
    Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases, including PubMed. The
    name RISmed is a portmanteau of RIS (for Research Information Systems, a common
    tag format for bibliographic data) and PubMed.

Automated performance of common transformations used to fulfill parametric
    assumptions of normality and identification of the best performing method 
    for the user. Output for various normality tests (Thode, 2002) corresponding 
    to the best performing method and a descriptive statistical report of the 
    input data in its original units (5-number summary and mathematical moments) 
    are also presented. Lastly, the Rankit, an empirical normal quantile transformation 
    (ENQT) (Soloman & Sawilowsky, 2009), is provided to accommodate non-standard 
    use cases and facilitate adoption.

A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods provided by ITALIC (<https://italic.units.it>).
    ITALIC is a database of lichen data in Italy and bordering European countries. 'ritalic' includes functions for retrieving information
    about lichen scientific names, geographic distribution, ecological data, morpho-functional traits and identification keys.
    More information about the data is available at <https://italic.units.it/?procedure=base&t=59&c=60>.
    The API documentation is available at <https://italic.units.it/?procedure=api>.
