create CITATION file #30

Open katrinleinweber opened 6 years ago

katrinleinweber commented 6 years ago

After #14 as an alternative or addition to #29?

[x] test citation("BacDiveR")
[x] avoid warning: no date field in DESCRIPTION file of package ‘BacDiveR’
[ ] use Zenodo-BibTeX, but with @software, or @misc with type = {software}
[ ] test whether a CITATION file supersedes R's citation()-parsing of the DESCRIPTION

katrinleinweber commented 6 years ago

Because R has built-in citation() capabilities, this seems a bit useless. Maybe rather add a copy-paste-able How to cite section to the README?

katrinleinweber commented 6 years ago

Ah, but pkgdown can convert a CITATION file into a website section, so I should move the citation info to that, and link to it from the README.md.
