FielDHub: A shiny app for design of experiments in life sciences

FielDHub is an R Shiny design of experiments (DOE) app that aids in the creation of traditional, unreplicated, augmented and partially-replicated (Cullis et al., 2006) designs applied to agriculture, plant breeding, forestry, animal and biological sciences. One of the problems that life scientists often face is the lack of freely available and user-friendly interactive tools to create designs that fit their needs. A few open-source DOE R packages options exist including agricolae (de Mendiburu & Yaseen, 2020) and blocksdesign (Edmondson, 2021), but they require users to be familiar with the R programming language and do not have a graphical user interface (GUI).
