[Bioc-devel] Change the citation of my Bioconductor R package "BUScorrect"

Dear All,

The citation information of my "BUScorrect" R package is shown as an R
package version (e.g., xxx, xxx, R package version 0.99.10.), but I want it
to be my original paper (e.g., xxx, xxx, JournalName).

I tried to manually insert the "CITATION" file in the "inst" folder, as
described in
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#CITATION-files.
It works if the package is installed locally. However, when the package is
installed from the Bioconductor platform, the citation is still the R
package version.  I am wondering how to change the citation on Bioconductor?

Many thanks for your great help!

Have you pushed your changes to 
git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/BUScorrect and waited for a successful 
nightly build

And don't forget to bump your version number, and to check that the new
version number is reflected at the bioc-devel landing page. You will have
to do a separate commit to the release branch if you want to add the
citation to release before the next release cycle (I assume this is an
allowable change to the release branch):

Dear Martin,

Thank you very much for the information! I have pushed my changes, bumped
the version, and waited for a successful nightly build, but the citation
result did not change.  I am wondering whether the CITATION file should be
in "inst" folder?

Best,

Xiangyu

Dear Levi,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I actually have bumped the version
number. I am reading the link you shared to see whether I made mistakes
somewhere.

Best regards,

Xiangyu

Are you sure that you have added the citation file to your local git 
repository, and pushed the local repository to git.bioconductor.org?

Dear Martin,

For version 0.9.9, I inserted a CITATION into the "inst", but it did not
work. Therefore, in version 0.9.10, I took the CITATION file out of the
"inst", but it still did not work. Thank you so much for your patience and
guidance!

Best regards,

Xiangyu

Please note, there is no CITATION file anywhere in your repository!

Verify this for yourself, if you like, by changing to a temporary 
location and making a new clone of your package

   git clone git at git.bioconductor.org:pacakges/BUScorrect

You have not added it to your local repository, or not committed the 
change to your local repository, or not pushed the commit successfully 
to the Bioconductor git repository.

Why not try to add the CITATION file back to inst/, and show what you do 
to add, commit, and push your changes. Remember that you must update the 
repository at the remote git.bioconductor.org.

Also remember if you are referring to the Citation that appears on the landing pages -  packages are built once a day and the landing page could take up to 2 days to reflect the CITATION change after you push changes to the git.bioconductor.org server with a valid version bump.
