Computing, Vienna, Austria. URL https://www.R-project.org/.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2020},
url = {https://www.R-project.org/},
}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it when using it for data analysis.
See also ‘citation(“pkgname”)’ for citing R packages.
