Abstract

Tidygeocoder is a package for the R programming language (R Core Team, 2021) that allows researchers and analysts to easily perform geocoding. Geocoding (also called "forward geocoding") is the process of obtaining geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude) from an address or a place name, while reverse geocoding is the process of obtaining an address or place name from geographic coordinates.
