I would use:
eqn ==
r^4 R''''[r] + 2 r^3 R'''[r] - r^2 R''[r] + r R'[r] - L^4 r^4 R[r];
Simplify[eqn /. R -> Function[{r}, r^2 Log[r] G[r]]]
Which works well for me.

Hi,
I'm solving
DSolve[r^4 R''''[r] + 2 r^3 R'''[r] - r^2 R''[r] + r R'[r] -
L^4 r^4 R[r] ==== 0, R[r], r] // Simplify
Now, I would like to make the substitution R[r]==r^2 Log[r] G[r],
formulate the equation for G[r] and solve it. What's the proper syntax
for that?
Thanks,
Sam
