Dear Friends, I'm contributing to a paper on a new R package for a clinical (medicine, ophthalmology) audience, and part of the mission is to encourage people who might be occasional users of Excel or SPSS, to become more familiar with R. I'd really appreciate any pointers to more recent papers that describe R, it's growth (statistics on user base, number of packages, volume of help list traffic) and application in many diverse fields. Published peer-reviewed papers of course would be best, but I'd appreciate any pointers to other resources and compilations that might float around somewhere. Is there anything bibliometric (number of citations)? I will happily send something back to the list... Best wishes Paul
Two possible starting points would be the Journal of Statistical Software or the R Journal. There's also this interesting paper -- http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.0530 -- which doesn't touch R to the best of my memory, but explains why FOSS + Science is a good idea and sketches (one group's ideas of) best practices.
