cite_r: Cite R and R-packages

Description

Creates a character string to cite R and R-packages.

Usage

cite_r(file = NULL, prefix = "R-", footnote = FALSE, pkgs = NULL, withhold = TRUE)

Arguments

file

Character. The path and name of the .bib-file holding the references. If NULL only R is cited.

prefix

Character. The prefix used for all R-package reference handles.

footnote

Logical. Indicates if packages should be cited in a footnote. Ignored if no package information is available.

pkgs

Character. Vector of package names to cite or withhold depending on withhold.

withhold

Logical. If TRUE, pkgs constitutes a list of packages not to cite (a blacklist). If FALSE, pkgs constitutes a list of packages to cite (a whitelist).

Value

If footnote = FALSE a character string is returned, otherwise a named list with the elements r and pkgs.

Details

If footnote = FALSE a character string citing R and R-packages including version numbers is returned. Otherwise a named list with the elements r and pkgs is returned. The former element holds a character string citing R and a reference to a footnote; the latter element contains a character string for the footnote citing R-packages. For correct rendering, the footnote string needs to be a separate paragraph in the Markdown document.
