Typing
citation()
at an R prompt will provide you with complete citation information for
the version of
R you are using. Same goes for packages, with citation("pkgname").

I'm not sure what the "official description" of R is beyond that given in citation(), but the R FAQ gives this: "[R] consists of a language plus a run-time environment." Part of R's personality, as far as I can tell, comes from the fact it straddles the general purpose language/domain specific language/application/platform divide without coming down hard on any particular side (though history suggests it's gotten much more "language"-y than the early versions of S). As far as what to put in an article, it's probably sensitive to the domain of the publication: in something like JSS, it would be silly to explain what R is, while it might be worth being more specific in non-stats journals. Given how people tend to use the terminology, I'd probably use "statistical programming language" if I were talking to non-computer scientists and the quoted phrase above in an audience where "programming language" might be more strictly defined. R-Core might want to say more as to their preferences, but I'd imagine if you have the citation() around, that's going to be acceptable to 99% of journal editors. Hope this helps, Michael On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 12:08 PM, gianni lavaredo

There's no released R version from 2012 -- yet. Wait two weeks and there will be one. -pd
