Automating citations in Sweave
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

R package BibTex entries: looking for a more general solution
Back in 2010 I raised this issue, and there was some discussion,
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-November/058987.html
The goal, then, as now is to have a way to produce a bibtex-clean .bib
file (i.e., not requiring
manual editing except in unusual circumstances) reflecting installed
packages
for use in writing where one often needs/wants to cite all packages used
in a given

CITATION file with multiple citEntry(): no BibTeX produced by 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 BibTeX entry:

BibTeX entries in CITATION file
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:

Creating bibtex file of all installed packages?
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

R package BibTex entries: looking for a more general solution

* Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation()
require too much manual editing to be
of general use.

files, perhaps

Making a package CITATION file from BibTeX
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

Problems building package vignette: Sweave requires multiple passes to build document.
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?

did not return the authors' names at all, but on Linux there was no

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")

Hi Duncan,
I'm guessing I'll be able to look at this over the weekend/next week (probably closer to next week). It is on my list of things to do and I've just had a few other prior commitments that I have to finish first.
Sorry for the delay. I'll chime in with a status update next week.
