search for: citation

Hi, I use Sweave extensively in my consulting work. When submitting reports to the scientists I work with I like to use the citation function to reference any packages I use, to give proper acknowledgement. I noted in the documentation that a citation inherits from bibentry, and indeed, > citr<- citation() > class(citr) [1] "citation" "bibentry" However, following this line I would assume citation...

[Using R 2.8.0 / Win XP / ] I just added a CITATION file to the heplots package--- appended below. From the document ion for ?CITATION, there can be *one or more* calls to citEntry() within the CITATION file, and each should produce an object of class "citation". With just a single citEntry(), citation produces the expected output, with...

Hello! I would like to know how do I citate R? I have used it during my Master thesis but I don’t know how to citate during the text and on the references. I’ve looked for it on the web page but only found how to citate the FAQ. Thank you in advance. Tatiana Fernandes Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Laboratório de Ciências Ambientais - CBB Av.

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rat...

utils::citation() offers the option auto=(NULL|TRUE) to obtain the citations for a package from the package DESCRIPTION file or a CITATION file, as described below: |auto| a logical indicating whether the default citation auto-generated from the package 'DESCRIPTION' metadata should be used or not, or...

Dear Colleagues, I would like to provide a CITATION file for my package nat.nblast [1]. I have the correct citation in BibTeX format [2]. How can I convert this BibTeX to the format needed by R for a package CITATION file (I have a lot of other packages needing citations ...). I think what I need is the opposite of RefManageR::toBiblatex [3]. Th...

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your reply. Yes, it does seem to be specific to the CTYPE setting to Chinese on Windows. If I set it to English using Sys.setlocale() there is no problem, then back to Chinese and the authors disappear: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","English") citation("readr") #' To cite package ?readr? in publications use: #' #' Hadley Wickham, Jim Hester and Romain Francois (2017). readr: Read #' Rectangular Text Data.

This is just a note that R would get a lot more citations if the recommended citation was an article in a recognised journal or from a recognised publisher. I use R in work leading to publications often, and I strongly want to give the R core team credit for their work. However I find that I can't persuade my biological collaborators to include the...

Hi, I believe the function utils::citation() will fail if the package specified has two or more citation entries in the current R-devel. The following error is issued: 'missing' can only be used for arguments I have created a working example on github [0] that is build using R-devel on travis-ci [1]. Jim Hester has potentially id...

Dear Reasearchers, I am writing a report and i need (and wish) cite R. somebody know the citation of R for the 2012? or the more actual? thanks in advance Gianni [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Recently I was trying to cite a package where the authors have ? and ? in their names. I found that on Windows the citation() function did not return the authors' names at all, but on Linux there was no problem (sessionInfos at the bottom): On Windows, no author names are returned: #--------------- > citation("readr") To cite package ?readr? in publications use: (2017). readr: Read Rectangula...

...devel and r-devel as I feel it is relevant to both communities) As someone whose body of work is likely to consist mostly of infrastructural packages and research directly in computing I wholeheartedly agree with Kasper's suggestion that we as a community should work to provide and use package citations. I borrow heavily from existing work in terms of both concept and implementation, and I hope that my ideas will in turn be borrowed in future work by others in the same way that science builds on existing results. Just because we write software doesn't mean we are not doing research. I think...

Dear List, While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package: -------------------------- citation('nlme') To cite package 'nlme' in publications use...

My subject line refers to a thread from June 2005 where I found explanations from Uwe Ligges and Friedrich Leisch as to what is intended by the R citation recommended within the software. Forgive me if I missed some points within the thread but when I found myself circling through messages I had already read, I stopped trying to follow it. I understand and mostly agree with how the R citation is currently suggested, though I would like to make two re...

...Web, ftp files, and electronically archived data stored at data centers other than World or National Data Centers as unpublished, i.e., in text only." http://www.agu.org/pubs/AuthorRefSheet.pdf So by this policy, R and its packages cannot be included in the list of references and has the same citation as a pers.comm. The problem for my paper can be resolved by removing the citation from references to text, but this seems unfair to R and the package authors for AGU publications. AGU does recognize some permanent data archives listed here http://www.agu.org/pubs/datacent.html - maybe it would make...
