<p>We are happy to announce that we can finally answer the question on how to cite <em>mlr</em> properly in publications.</p>
<p>Our paper on <em>mlr</em> has been published in the open-access Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) and can be downloaded on the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v17/15-066.html">journal home page</a>.</p>

<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v17/15-066.html"><img alt="preview paper" src="https://i2.wp.com/mlr-org.github.io/images/2016-10-20-Paper-published-mlr-Machine-Learning-in-R/paper-first-page.png?w=456&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></p>
<p>The paper gives a brief overview of the features of <em>mlr</em> and also includes a comparison with similar toolkits.<br>
For an in-depth understanding we still recommend our excellent <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://mlr-org.github.io/mlr-tutorial/">online mlr tutorial</a> which is now also available as a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.06146">PDF</a> on arxiv.org or as <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://mlr-org.github.io/mlr-tutorial/devel/mlr_tutorial.zip">zipped HTML files</a> for offline reading.</p>
<p>Once <em>mlr 2.10</em> hits CRAN you can retrieve the citation information from within R:</p>
