As well as citing R, I would like to know how to cite the contributed

marginally, some are called from another package and some were not used as
softwares but gave me insight of how to proceed), as well as thank the
persons who generously responded to my demands on the list...
Is there an established way of doing that?
See the citation() function, which works for packages too and a few authors
have taken advantage of the means of customizing it.
I keep learning - thanks Brian. I will add CITATION files in the parent
directory of my packages. The defaults generated from
citation('packagename') for them are not bad. -Frank
You need to add them to the inst directory of source packages: see ONEWS.
