cffr provides utilities to generate, coerce, modify and validate CITATION.cff files automatically for R packages, as well as tools and examples for working with .cff more generally.

What is a CITATION.cff file?

Citation File Format (CFF) (Druskat et al. 2021) (v1.2.0) are plain text files with human- and machine-readable citation information for software (and datasets). Code developers can include them in their repositories to let others know how to correctly cite their software.

This format is becoming popular within the software citation ecosystem. Recently GitHub, Zenodo and Zotero have included full support of this citation format (Druskat 2021). GitHub support is of special interest:

The CodeMeta Project (Jones et al. 2017) creates a concept vocabulary that can be used to standardize the exchange of software metadata across repositories and organizations. One of the many uses of a codemeta.json file (created following the standards defined on The CodeMeta Project) is to provide citation metadata such as title, authors, publication year, and venue (Fenner 2021). The packages codemeta (Boettiger and Salmon 2021a) / codemetar (Boettiger and Salmon 2021b) allows to generate codemeta.json files from R packages metadata.

The cffr package

cffr maximizes the data extraction by using both the DESCRIPTION file and the CITATION file (if present) of your package. Note that cffr works best if your package pass R CMD check/devtools::check().

As per 2024-08-28 there are at least 288 repos on GitHub using cffr. Check them out here.

Installation

Install cffr from CRAN:

install.packages("cffr")

You can install the developing version of cffr with:

remotes::install_github("ropensci/cffr")

Alternatively, you can install cffr using the r-universe:

# Install cffr in R:
install.packages("cffr",
  repos = c("https://ropensci.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org")
)

Example

By default most often from within your package folder you’ll simply run cff_write(), that creates a cff object, write it on a CITATION.cff file and validates it on a single command:

library(cffr)

# For in-development packages
cff_write()
#>
#> CITATION.cff generated
#>
#> cff_validate results-----
#> Congratulations! This .cff file is valid

However, cffr provides also custom print methods and mechanisms that allows you to customize the CITATION.cff and integrate them in your workflows.

This is a basic example which shows you how to create a cff object (see ?cff for more info). In this case, we are creating a cff object from the metadata of the rmarkdown package:

library(cffr)

# Example with an installed package
test <- cff_create("rmarkdown")

Keep your CITATION.cff file up-to-date

GitHub Actions

The easiest way for keeping you CITATION.cff file up-to-date is using GitHub Actions. Use cff_gha_update()function to install a GitHub Action that would update your CITATION.cff file on the following events:

  • When you publish a new release of the package on your GitHub repo.
  • Each time that you modify your DESCRIPTION or inst/CITATION files.
  • The action can be run also manually.
cff_gha_update()

#> Installing update-citation-cff.yaml on './.github/workflows'
#> Adding .github to .Rbuildignore

See the example workflow file here.

Git pre-commit hook Experimental

You can also use a git pre-commit hook:

The pre-commit hook is run first, before you even type in a commit message. It’s used to inspect the snapshot that’s about to be committed, to see if you’ve forgotten something, to make sure tests run, or to examine whatever you need to inspect in the code. Exiting non-zero from this hook aborts the commit, although you can bypass it with git commit --no-verify.

A specific pre-commit hook can be installed with cff_git_hook_install(). If you want to use a pre-commit hook, please make sure you have the testthat package installed.
