similar to: R package BibTex entries: looking for a more general solution

== 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 rather than packing all

Dear all, Is there an elegant way to add citations of packages when using Sweave? Ideally I'd like a function which creates a Bibtex-file with the packagenames as keys. The idea is to use \cite{packagename} or \cite{R} in LaTeX. I know you can get the Bibtex entry with toBibtex(citation("packagename")). But after updating R or a package one needs to update the bib-file too. When

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages? Cheers, Rainer -- NEW GERMAN FAX NUMBER!!! Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT),

I have two versions of a bibtex database which have gotten badly out of sync. I need to find find all the entries in bib2 which are not contained in bib1, according to their bibtex keys. But I can't figure out how to extract a list of the bibentry keys in these databases. A minor question: Is there someway to prevent read.bib from ignoring entries that do not contain all required fields?

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

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

[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: >

Dear all, I'm a big fan and happy user of the Sweave package for routine reporting. From inside a .Rnw script, I'd like to produce the references in bibtex format for each package loaded in the environment, write them in a .bib file and load them back from the \bibliography{bibliography} statement. Is this feasible? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Paolo

Hello. R-devel, r61697. I am having difficulty interpreting section 1.4 "Writing package vignettes" of the R-exts manual. Specifically, I want to use system.file() in some of my packages to locate a bib file, uncertainty.bib, which is part of the emulator package. I only want to maintain a single .bib file. R-exts says: "All other files needed to re-make the vignette PDFs (such

Hello, I have the following makefile. The problem is that the bibliography doesn t work. Any help would be appreciated! I really don t don t what to do..:-( # The sources of the report (tex, Rnw and other files (e.g. bib, idx)) TEX_CMPS = Report problem RNW_CMPS = prop1 prop2 ExeExps OTHER = Report.bib # The name of the report to produce all: Report.pdf code: $(RNW_CMPS:=.R) clean: rm

Dear R-devel, Question: How can I get Sweave to recognize that the \thebibliography section is already created and generate the vignette pdf with a single pass? Or is there a way to let R CMD build know that Sweave needs to be run twice? If (1) is not possible, any suggestions how to auto-generate a crude generic bibtex .bib file from my existing document? Background: I maintain

Hi, On Windows, with last R-devel tarball (r40647) from ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-devel_2007-02-04.tar.gz I get the following build error: E:\biocbld\bbs-2.0-bioc\R\src\gnuwin32> make ... ... ---------- Making package utils ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata installing R files Error in namespaceExport(ns, exports) :

Hello, I'm running R2.10, Eclipse, StatEt and MikTex 2.8 to create Sweave documents, and everything seems to work great, until today... I was trying to add citations from a Bibtex file, but I just got [?] citations. However, if I open the .tex file that StatEt created in MikTex and run the latex+bibtex+pdflatex command, the citations are present. Does anyone know how to either configure

Dear all, I was hoping someone may know a way of running texi2dvi while ignoring bibtex errors, or any other work around (such as not running bibtex at all, if possible). The context is that I have an R program that does some calculations and writes a table into various folders, one per country for several countries. I have a latex file that takes the table as an input, and this latex file is

I am working a Bibtex database for my school using Rails and I need some idea on how to manage the bibtex types. I crated an Author and Publications model and put has_and_belongs_to_many relationship between them. The user model basically is like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :publications end The Publication model has all the Bibtex fields

I am having some trouble getting reftex, in particular the bibtex related features, to work properly in xemacs when editing text in Sweave files. I have added (defun Rnw-mode () (noweb-mode) (if (fboundp 'R-mode) (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode))) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist

Dear all, i am new in R. I am writing a review paper about batteries. However, i am interested in analyzing all the papers by keywords, author, references and year. This could be done by "refviz" a software, which is only running on windows machines and which is not free. So my question to you is, is it somehow possible to write a script that can do all of this work? And if yes, with

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 is used if it exists, or

Hello, I'm seeing three different vignette-related errors with recent versions of R-3.0.0 alpha. First, with the package BitSeq (http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/BitSeq.html), I get the following when trying to build the package: Error: processing vignette ?BitSeq.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: Failed to locate the ?weave? output file (by engine ?utils::Sweave?) for
