I wonder whether the software that makes the package landing pages (e.g.: 
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/minfi.html ) could be 
tweaked to display the actual citation suggested in a package CITATION file.

Right now, it says 'To cite this package in a publication, start R and enter: 
citation(“minfi”)’. Which is already a good start, but requires the reader to 
have an R session available, install the package, and type these words. Things 
that could be easily automated, and where there is no obvious benefit from 
having the user do these computations, as their result is anyway predictable.

What do you think?

Kind regards
        Wolfgang
