The R Journal is apeer-reviewedopen-accessscientific journal published by The R Foundation since 2009.[1] It publishes research articles in statistical computing that are of interest to users of theR programming language. The journal includes aNews and Notes section that supersedes theR News newsletter, which was published from 2001 to 2008.
The journal serves a dual role as a research journal in statistical computing and as the official newsletter of the R Project. It publishes regular news updates about The R Foundation, theCRAN repository system, and theBioconductor project. It also published articles foreshadowing new development directions for R.[2]
The journal also publishes articles on best-practice and innovation in modelling, for example in multivariate statistics or multi-level modelling. A feature of the journal is the inclusion in articles of complete code by which readers can reproduce results and examples.
The journal is indexed in theScience Citation Index Expanded.[3] According to theJournal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2023impact factor of 2.3.[4]
