search for: citations

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

[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 BibTeX entry: >

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.

...at query was a function, Rpackage.bibs() by Achim Zeileis that I have been using ever since.

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 |NULL| (default), indicating that a 'CITATION' file i...

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]. This seems like it should be a common need, so I feel sure I must be missing something, but I can't seem to google up any hints. With many thanks, Greg Jefferis. [1] http://github.com/jefferislab/nat.nblast https://...

Adrian, I am not on the CRAN or R-core teams, so the following is my own view, but... > library(QCA) > > Users are encouraged to cite this package as: > > Dusa, Adrian (2015).

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...

...ls")) utils::citation("boot") Background: My package poppr suddenly started failing check on R-devel during a weekly travis-ci job [5] due to the error above. Another package of mine, ezec, passed [6]. Both contain calls to utils::citation() within the vignettes, but poppr has two citations and ezec only has one (called from another package).

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]]

...coding argument, but the default is not useful for Windows when there is an encoding set in the DESCRIPTION of the package (in this case UTF-8). We can set the encoding argument in packageDescription so it works in Windows to give the authors as expected, but it is very inconvenient to generate citations directly from the output of this function. So I'd like to propose a solution this problem by changing one line in the packageDescription function, like so, from: #--------------- if (missing(encoding) && Sys.getlocale("LC_CTYPE") == "C") #--------------- to: #--...

...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 w...

...blishing journal). The other is to give a way for other works to cite the work done in developing the package. If you don't acknowledge that it is "heavily implied" that in the second case all authors of the package should appear in the citation (this is almost definitionally true of citations, I would think) I'm not really sure what to tell you. Approached from a different angle, what reason do you have for wanting the other other to not appear in the citation for the package other than minimizing/not acknowledging the copyright-holding work that he or she did on the project? &gt...

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: Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat

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

Dear Achim, Thanks for the comment. Here is the publisher's style guideline (AGU) "Because the Internet is dynamic environment and sites may change or move, treat World Wide 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
