Catherine Hurley

On behalf of the editorial board, I am pleased to present Volume 14 Issue 3 of the R Journal.

Our incoming editor-in-chief for 2023 Simon Urbanek has been successful in seeking funding from the R Consortium. The project will provide a web-based front-end for managing the R Journal submission and review process.

Behind the scenes, several people assist with the journal operations. Mitchell O’Hara-Wild continues to work on infrastructure, and thanks to this work, producing a new issue is far more straightforward. H. Sherry Zhang continues to develop the rjtools package under the direction of Professor Dianne Cook. This package, recently available from CRAN assists in producing RMarkdown articles in the R Journal format. In addition, articles in this issue have been carefully copy edited by Hannah Comiskey.

In this issue

News from the CRAN and Bioconductor are included in this issue.
