When you start R you get this information:

R is a collaborative project with many contributors.
Type 'contributors()' for more information and
'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications. 

That should help answer your question.

Subject: [R] How to make reference to R in the method section in
ascientific article?

Dear all,

How do I make reference to R in the method section in a scientific
article?
Should I state the web aderess?

And, is this the proper way to report the lme test?


"The relationships were assumed to be linear. The response, handling
time and the explanatory variable, prey mass, were log transformed to
obtain normal error distributions. The lme function of the nlme package
for R was used to fit linear mixed-effects (LME) models, using
restricted maximum likelihood (REML). Model selection were computed by
using the Akaike Information Criteria (AIC). The overall test of the
model was conducted with ANOVA."

Check out citation function. This can be used to find 
the proper citation for R and for packages that have 
included a citation. For example:

citation(package="MASS")

Citing the url is usually a matter of journal style. Some 
journals now  want the date that the url was visited as part 
of the citation.

The recommended citation can be found with 
citation()

How exactly you cite it in the text is dependent upon
what the target journal's style manual says.  I'm no
expert but the information you have given in the text
below looks quite adequate.
