Hi As far I'm concern the package author should tell you that. Some packages have an article about them in the R-NEWS and this is a possible way to cite them. Otherwise we are left with the reference to the contributed packages session of the CRAN web-site.
R has the citation() function and inspired by this we create the functions cite.geoR() and cite.geoRglm() the packages geoR and geoRglm. Would it be an idea having some global standard, including this a a requirement for the packages (?) P.J. On Mon, 9 Feb 2004, Martin Henry H.
