:Citing R

Hi,


What is the correct form for currently citing R and R libraries in
published articles?
I haven't been able to find this in R FAQ. The only thing I can come up
with so far is,

R Development Core Team. 1999. R : A language and environment.

Should the version of R be included? i.e. Linux, windows?

It is in the FAQ (but perhaps not that easy to find), in section 2.7.

"  Last, but not least, Ross' and Robert's experience in designing and
implementing R is described in:

     @article{,
       author =    {Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman},
       title =     {R: A Language for Data Analysis and Graphics},
       journal =   {Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics},
       year =      1996,
       volume =    5,
       number =    3,
       pages =     {299--314}
     }

This is also the reference for R to use in publications."
