Packrat helps you maintain consistent package versions for a project. To be able to give due credit in a way that academics understand, it's helpful to be able to generate citations.
packrat_bibliography(overwrite_bib = FALSE, silent = FALSE, cite_only_directly_called = TRUE, lockfile_path = "packrat/packrat.lock", bibliography_path = "packrat_bibliography.bibtex", cite_packrat = !cite_only_directly_called)
overwrite_bib | whether to overwrite an existing bibtex file of the same name |
---|---|
silent | defaults to false. whether to cat out a nocite string to use in your header |
cite_only_directly_called | whether to call only the packages you called yourself (default) or also their dependencies |
lockfile_path | path to the packrat lock file to use |
bibliography_path | path to the bibtex file to generate |
cite_packrat | whether to cite packrat even if it's not loaded explicitly, defaults to the reverse of cite_only_directly_called |
