About R News
R News is the newsletter of the R project for
statistical computing and features short to medium length articles
covering topics that might be of interest to users or developers of R,
including
- Changes in R: new features of the latest release
- Changes on CRAN: new add-on packages, manuals, binary
distributions, mirrors,...
- Add-on packages: short introductions to or reviews of R
extension packages
- Programmer's Niche: nifty hints for programming in R (or S)
- Hints for newcomers: Explaining sides of R that might not be so
obvious from reading the manuals and FAQs.
- Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R
The newsletter as a medium for communication intends to fill the
gap between the R mailing lists and scientific journals: Compared with
emails it is more persistent, one can cite articles in the newsletter
and because the newsletter is edited it has better quality control. On
the other hand, when compared to scientific journals, it is faster,
less formal, and last but not least focused on R.

Submissions
Please send submissions to regular columns (programmer's niche, help
desk) to the respective column editor, all other submissions to the
Editor-in-Chief or a member of the editorial board.
Please read the short article in Volume 1/1 on how to write articles for R
News.
You can also download the following files which provide a template
for preparing an article for submission to R News:
Download the files into a directory, run pdflatex a couple of times
on wrapper.tex to produce a file wrapper.pdf, then read wrapper.pdf.
Finally, authors are encouraged to read the documentation for the
R News style file. Download the documented style file,
Rnews.dtx,
and run pdflatex on it to produce Rnews.pdf. Section 2 is
particularly useful for describing the special commands, e.g., \pkg,
that are provided by the R News style.
