Comprehensive citation of literature, data, materials, methods, and
software is one of the hallmarks of open science. When using the
R-implementation of WORCS, you will most likely be writing your
manuscript in RMarkdown
format. This means that you will
use Markdown citekey
s to refer to references, and these
references will be stored in a separate text file known as a
.bib
file.
To ease this process, we recommend following this procedure for citation:
.bib
file with
the BibTeX references for all citations.
.bib
file from most reference manager
programs; the free, open-source reference manager Zotero is excellent and
user-friendly, and highly interoperable with other commercial reference
managers. Seaching for “How to Integrate Zotero Citations with R
Markdown” will yield tutorials for using Zotero with RMarkdown..bib
filecitekey
- the first word
in the BibTeX entry for that reference. Insert it in the RMarkdown file
like so: @yourcitekey2020
. For a parenthesized reference,
use [@citekeyone2020; @citekeytwo2020]
. For more options,
see the RMarkdown
cookbook.@@nonessential2020
.knit
command in
the YAML header.knit: worcs::cite_all
renders all citations, andknit: worcs::cite_essential
removes all
non-essential citations.knit: worcs::cite_essential
.
The procedure is documented in this
tutorial.
