[Bioc-devel] CITATION on the Bioc package landing page?

[Wolfgang Huber]

I wonder whether the software that makes the package landing pages (e.g.: http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/minfi.html ) could be tweaked to display the actual citation suggested in a package CITATION file.

Right now, it says 'To cite this package in a publication, start R and enter: citation(“minfi”)’. Which is already a good start, but requires the reader to have an R session available, install the package, and type these words. Things that could be easily automated, and where there is no obvious benefit from having the user do these computations, as their result is anyway predictable.

What do you think?

Kind regards
