To this end, StataCorp sponsors an excellent peer-refereed journal in  
which many of the most heavily used user-written Stata packages are  
fully documented with references to the underlying statistical  
literature. Not every user-written package (including many of my own)  
has been described in the Stata Journal, but I would urge authors of  
generally useful user-written packages to submit their work to the  
Journal. Although the process is similar to that of any respected  
journal in terms of rigor and demands on the author, turnaround is  
relatively swift and in my experience as an associate editor most  
submissions are eventually published with one or two rounds of  
revision. (This may reflect selection bias, in that the editors may  
have culled poor submissions and not sent them on). We all benefit by  
having user-written packages more formally documented, and after three  
years the articles are freely available.
