Hello, I'm writing my Master Thesis. I'm using the R library "splines" and i want to cite it correctly. I have found the following documentation: http://127.0.0.1:20742/library/splines/html/splines-package.html My problem is, i didn't find the year when this library was released. Would you please help me with this problem? Thanks in Advance, Christof Peternell [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Normally you cite the year of the version you used, not one you did not. It was incorporated into R in 1999. Some of the file copyrights are 1998: see doc/COPYRIGHTS.> Would you please help me with this problem? > Thanks in Advance, > Christof Peternell-- Brian D.

For my own thesis I found a similar publication for the packages that I relied upon. If that fails you can also cite the R project itself and the authors as a misc citation.
