R help - Mar 2011 - How to reference a package in academical paper

Dear,

I am now writing more formal "academical" paper, and would like to
reference
an R package. Do you have any recommendation how to do it?

Taking for instance the RODBC package as an example, how would the reference
look like?
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RODBC/index.html

Thank you
Jan
