I noticed that Marek has (rightly) more than 1k citations to stargazer. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=jRCc4kMAAAAJ&hl=en I think one of the reasons is that the package produces a message onAttach to remind the user to cite the package.
I think there is a larger point here about increasing citations to software to improve incentives for software producers and also make sure concerns in software can be backtraced from papers that rely on it.
