neon_citation: Generate the appropriate citation for your data

Description

Usage

neon_citation(product = NULL, download_date = Sys.Date(), dir = neon_dir())

Value

returns a utils::bibentry object, which can be used as text or formatted for bibtex.

Arguments

product

A NEON productCode or list of product codes, see examples.

download_date

Date of download to be included in citation. default is today's date, see details.

dir

Location where files should be downloaded. By default will use the appropriate applications directory for your system (see tools::R_user_dir()). This default also be configured by setting the environmental variable NEONSTORE_HOME, see Sys.setenv or Renviron.

Details

Note that the neon_download() does not record download date for each file. Citing a single product download date is after all rather meaningless, as parts of a products may not have all been downloaded on different dates. Indeed, neon_download() is designed in precisely this way, to allow easy updating of downloads without re-downloading older data.
