Reproducible examples help. For package MASS do you mean? http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/index.html Which provides information about the package and a link to the Reference manual: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/MASS.pdf In that manual data sets and functions contain a Source entry and/or References for that function or data set. For a large package such as MASS with over 150 functions/data sets, it would be unwieldy to put them all on the web page. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of carol white via R-help Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 1:28 PM To: Duncan Murdoch; R-help Help Subject: Re: [R] cite publications in the package help file the main web page is meant the page when a package is accessed on CRAN. So is it possible on this page that the content of DESCRIPTION is displayed to display the related publications and also put the related publications so that they appear on the help pdf file?

The package help file (e.g. foo-package.Rd for package "foo") will be displayed first in the PDF, and is the first entry linked in the help page index for the package. I don't know what page you mean as the "package main web page".
