If you need to cite R, there is a very useful function called citation().
> citation()
To cite R in publications use:
R Core Team (2013). R: A language and environment for statistical
computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria.
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 Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2013},
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.
If you want to cite just a package, just pass the package name as a parameter, e.g.:
> citation(package = "cluster")
To cite the R package 'cluster' in publications use:
Maechler, M., Rousseeuw, P., Struyf, A., Hubert, M., Hornik,
K.(2013). cluster: Cluster Analysis Basics and Extensions. R package
version 1.14.4.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {cluster: Cluster Analysis Basics and Extensions},
author = {Martin Maechler and Peter Rousseeuw and Anja Struyf and Mia Hubert and Kurt Hornik},
year = {2013},
note = {R package version 1.14.4 --- For new features, see the 'Changelog' file (in the package source)},
}
This will give you BibTeX entries you can copy and paste in your BibTeX reference. If you are using M$ Word, good luck to you.
