Aims & Scope
The R Journal is the open access, refereed journal of the R project for statistical computing.
It features short to medium length articles covering topics that should be of interest to users or developers of R.
The R Journal intends to reach a wide audience and have a thorough review process.
Papers are expected to be reasonably short, clearly written, not too technical, and of course focused on R.
Authors of refereed articles should take care to: - put their contribution in context, in particular discuss related R functions or packages; - explain the motivation for their contribution; - provide code examples that are reproducible.
