hello,
package MASS has one that looks just like that :
citHeader("To cite the VR bundle (MASS, class, nnet, spatial) in publications use:")
citEntry(entry="Book",
title = "Modern Applied Statistics with S",
author = personList(as.person("W. N. Venables"),
as.person("B. D. Ripley")),
publisher = "Springer",
edition = "Fourth",
address = "New York",
year = 2002,
note = "ISBN 0-387-95457-0",
url = "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4";, textVersion =
paste("Venables, W. N. & Ripley, B. D. (2002)",
"Modern Applied Statistics with S.",
"Fourth Edition. Springer, New York. ISBN 0-387-95457-0")
)or package base :
citHeader("To cite R in publications use:")citEntry(entry="Manual",
title = "R: A language and environment for statistical computing",
author = person(last="R Development Core Team"),
organization = "R Foundation for Statistical Computing",
address = "Vienna, Austria",
year = version$year,
note = "{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0",
url = "http://www.R-project.org";, textVersion =
paste("R Development Core Team (", version$year, "). ",
"R: A language and environment for statistical computing. ",
"R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria. ",
"ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org.";,
sep="")
)citFooter("We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R,",
"please cite it when using it for data analysis.",
"See also", sQuote("citation(\"pkgname\")"),
"for citing R packages.")
That's all I found. Hope this helps.
Romain.

Could someone point out a few packages that have a CITATION file
to use as examples. In a search I did I only found one.
