That page is produced by CRAN. The text at the top is the "Description:" field from your DESCRIPTION file, so you could put text about other publications there, but it needs to be just one paragraph, so a reference list wouldn't be appropriate. Adding a sentence like "See the 'foo' vignette for related references." seems reasonable. (Or you could refer to the reference manual, or a help page, etc.) Duncan Murdoch > > > > On Tuesday, April 28, 2015 7:37 PM, Duncan Murdoch > <murdoch.dun...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On 28/04/2015 1:00 PM, carol white via R-help wrote: > >> To cite related publications, it seems that they can't be mentioned > in DESCRIPTION.
