Hi all,
Which is a formal bibliography citation of an R's task view? For example
if I want to make a citation of "MetaAnalysis" task view.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think there is a recognized standard one.
Not yet. But since this summer the web pages contain <meta> tags (both in
Highwire Press and Dublin Core format) that state how the pages can be
cited.
I would use whatever format your journal requires for citing any web
page, e.g. something like
Lewin-Koh, Nicholas (2013). CRAN Task View: Graphic Displays & Dynamic
Graphics & Graphic Devices & Visualization.
Web page with URL <http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Bayesian.html>,
retrieved Sept. 4, 2014.
I would recommend two changes: (1) Use the official stable URL
http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=... (2) Instead of the "retrieved"
information, use the version date stated on the task view. For example for
the current version of the MetaAnalysis view:
Michael Dewey (2014). CRAN Task View: Meta-Analysis. Version 2014-07-25.
URL http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=MetaAnalysis.
or in BibTeX:
@Misc{,
author = {Michael Dewey},
note = {Version~2014-07-25},
title = {{CRAN} Task View: Meta-Analysis},
year = {2014},
url = {http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=MetaAnalysis}
}
hth,
