It just returns the citation.
- From the help:
Execute function ‘citation()’ for information on how to cite the
base R system in publications. If the name of a non-base package
is given, the function either returns the information contained in
the ‘CITATION’ file of the package or auto-generates citation
information. In the latter case the package ‘DESCRIPTION’ file is
parsed, the resulting citation object may be arbitrarily bad, but
is quite useful (at least as a starting point) in most cases.
Some examples:
This prints the citation for R:
#+begin_src R :results output
citation()
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
To cite R in publications use:
R Development Core Team (2012). R: A language and environment for
statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org/.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Development Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2012},
note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
url = {http://www.R-project.org/},
}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation("pkgname")’ for
citing R packages.
#+end_example
And if a package name is given, it prints the citation info of this package:
#+begin_src R :results output
citation("graphics")
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
The ‘graphics’ package is part of R. To cite R in publications use:
R Development Core Team (2012). R: A language and environment for
statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org/.
