Usage

create_bibkey(bibentry, key = NULL, current = NULL)

Arguments

key

the key to use as the bibkey. Defaults to NULL, in which case the function constructs its own key using LastNameYear format (from first author).

current

a list of currently existing citations, such as the output from 'bibliography()', which will force 'create_bibkey' to generate a unique pattern.

Value

• an updated bibentry that now has a key value and is named using its key

Examples

r <- ref("10.3998/3336451.0009.101")
 print(r, "Bibtex")
 r <- knitcitations:::create_bibkey(r)
## Notice it now has a key entry
 print(r, "Bibtex")
