This is the first released version of the R Package ReKS ("Regional Knowledge Space"). The package computes some measure about the knowledge space of a economic region. Although the functions provided works, the package in itself is still under strong development: other functions will be added soon and the ones already released could undergo some profound changes in the next future.
