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

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.

I'd be curious to know what others think of Rich's patch. If it is acceptable, I can spend time that I was going to look at it this week on another bug. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Calaway Sent: Friday, June 23, 2017 6:34 PM To: Nathan Sosnovske <nsosnov at microsoft.com>; Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com>; Andrie de Vries <apdevries at gmail.com>

The following patch is not the most elegant, but it restores the Authors when "LC_CTYPE" is set to either "Chinese" or "Arabic": > Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "Chinese") [1] "Chinese (Simplified)_China.936" > citation("readr") To cite package ?readr? in publications use: (2016). readr: Read Tabular Data.

This is a continuation of the R-devel thread with subject "suggestion to fix packageDescription() for Windows users" : As I said there, a patch should rather address the underlying problem in packageDescription rather than a kludgy workaround patch for citation(). (For that same reason, Ben Marwick proposed to fix packageDescription() rather than the symptom seen in 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: >

== 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 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

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

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

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?
