Ogbos is, as I understand, looking for a repository for publications using R (as in scientific publications) and not that much. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am not aware that CRAN hosts a bibliography of publications using R (which would be an interesting thing to have?).

How many publications explicitly name the software used to produce anaytical results or plots (or the document itself)? I've been out of academia for a very long time yet read many articles and techical reports in my work as an environmental consultant. I don't recall seeing software mentioned in any of them. The focus of the author(s) is on the subject of the document and not the tools used to create it. Unless, of course, the document is about statistics or data analyses. Regards, Rich

" He may not be aware that currently authors are encouraged to support reproducible research, which includes making available (where possible) both the data and the software programs that were used in the analysis. I think the OP's suggestion leads to a number of interesting use cases. There are certainly cases where research is copyrighted with the publishing journal so full access for all articles would not be possible. Food for thought.
