Details

This function is simply a wrapper to the function write.bib by Renaud Gaujoux. Though that function has been added to the 'bibtex' package by Romain Francois (a more sensible place to find it), that version was not avialble on CRAN at the time of writing.

The 'knitcitations' package automatically extends the use of this function to be able to write bibtex files from a string of DOIs, making it valuable for purposes beyond the citation of packages.
