There are two publications about blavaan, one describing the Stan methods and one describing the JAGS methods.

If you use Stan, please cite:

If you use target='jags', please cite:

Merkle EC, Rosseel Y (2018). “blavaan: Bayesian Structural Equation Models via Parameter Expansion.” Journal of Statistical Software, 85(4), 1–30. doi:10.18637/jss.v085.i04.
