The first issue of the R Journal was published in June 2009. Run by volunteers from academia, government and industry, the journal has grown into an increasingly popular outlet for scientific research on anything related to R. At the time of writing the Journal has an impact factor of 1.673. In this talk I will look back at the origins and history of The R Journal. I will look back on the people involved and the formal organisation of the journal, including associate editors, editors, and the advisory board. We will take a detailed look at the current editorial process and production of issues in HTML and pdf format will be explained. This will yield extensive tips and tricks that help aspiring authors to get their submissions processed quickly. Finally, we will look into the future developments of the R Journal.
