New version of {grateful}, the package that makes it very easy to cite #Rstats packages, so that #software authors get their deserved credit.

pakillo.github.io/grateful/

Major changes: 1/6

2/ To get a document with formatted citations for all the #rstats packages used in your analysis, just run

library(grateful)
cite_packages()

Now includes pkg versions and all their citations, ready to paste into your manuscript or report

3/ {grateful} can now be used within #Rmarkdown!

Just include a chunk with

cite_packages(output = 'paragraph')

and you'll get a paragraph with in-text citations for all pkgs and a formatted reference list

4/ It's now possible to include recursive dependencies of the used packages in the citation list:

cite_packages(dependencies = TRUE)

5/ Also possible to collapse all tidyverse packages (dplyr, ggplot2, etc) into a single citation to tidyverse:

cite_packages(cite.tidyverse = TRUE)

6/6 There's been a few more changes so please check out the new documentation: pakillo.github.io/grateful/

Many thanks to Connor P. Jackson & @shauritacodes for their awesome contributions to {grateful}!

Please let us know on github if you find problems.

Happy citing!
