The goal of `ethnobotanyR` is to provide an easy-to-use platform for ethnobotanists to work with quantitative ethnobotany assessments. It closely follows [Tardio and Pardo-de-Santayana (2008)](https://doi.org/10.1007/s12231-007-9004-5) and [Whitney et al. (2018)](https://doi.org/10.14237/ebl.9.2.2018.503). 


Users of `ethnobotanyR` may find it useful to read the background papers and books on ethnobotany theory. In particular [Albuquerque et al. (2019)](https://doi.org/10.1007/s13752-019-00316-8) offer helpful guidance to understanding theoretical approaches in ethnobotany and developing meaningful research questions.
