Thread 1/

Facilitate Citation of R Packages

Facilitates the citation of R packages used in analysis projects. Scans project for packages used, gets their citations, and produces a document with citations in the preferred bibliography format, ready to be pasted into reports or manuscripts. Alternatively, grateful can be used directly within an R Markdown or Quarto document.

5/ It's also possible to include recursive dependencies of the used packages, to make credit transitive:

cite_packages(dependencies = TRUE)

6/ {grateful} is my first pkg on CRAN. It serves well to communicate our gratitude as well as our wish to give back to the #Rstats community.

Great thanks to Connor Jackson and @shauritacodes for their great contributions

Happy citing!
