[R-pkg-devel] References in package description file

Hello world,
is there a standard way of adding references (scientific papers ...) to
the description file in R packages other than putting the DOI in the
description text? Does a best practise exist on how much references are
advisable in order not to clutter the package information? Or should I
put these things in the vignette instead?

Thanks and best regards,
     Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

You can use the CITATION file. See??citation and ?bibentry.

Cheers,
David
