[R-sig-ME] Citations of our lme4 paper

[Douglas Bates]

Martin, Ben, Steve and I would like to thank all those who cited our 2015
J, Statist. Software paper on "Fitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models Using
lme4", https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v067i01 when using lme4.

A recent paper in Nature, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01125-9,
on "The Most Cited Papers of the Twenty-First Century" included our paper.
According to the spreadsheet in their supplemental materials it has a
median ranking of 14. (Different sources give different numbers of
citations, which is why they use the median ranking).  This has been an
unexpected honor and we are grateful for the support in this community.
