version: 0.1.0.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.contactsurveys
abstract: Download, cache, and manage social contact survey data from the social contact
  data community on Zenodo (<https://zenodo.org/communities/social_contact_data>)
  for use in infectious disease modelling. Provides functions to list available surveys,
  download survey files with automatic caching, and retrieve citations. Contact survey
  data describe who contacts whom in a population and are used to parameterise age-structured
  transmission models, for example via the 'socialmixr' package. The surveys available
  include those from the POLYMOD study (Mossong et al. (2008) <https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0050074>)
  and other social contact data shared on Zenodo.
