Citation of R and Packages

When using Red-R you can cite R and R packages by opening the RExecutor widget and typing citation() and citation(#packagename) of R or any R package. You can also look to the packages tab above for information on specific packages.

To cite Red-R please use the following Bibtex entry:

{Covington2011,
  author = {Kyle R Covington and Anup Parikh},
  title = {The Red-R Framework for Integrated Discovery},
  journal = {The Red-R Journal},
  year = {2011},
  volume = {1-08/08/2011},
  month = {August},
  abstract = {The Red-R Framework is a visual programming environment for data analysis.
        The framework focuses on data interactivity, readability, and share-ability.
        Interaction is provided in a canvas in which users visually wire
        functional modules together. A logging system and saving modules
        ensure that data are reproducible, shareable, and well documented.
        The underlying philosophy of Red-R is that users with all levels
        of expertise should use the same software to analyse data. While
        Red-R provides an environment in which users can easily interact
        with data using graphical user interfaces, it also provides the underlying
        power of R and Python for data analysis. Herein, we describe the
        Red-R Framework.}
