It would be great to learn of easy & automatic ways to cite all loaded/used packages for a project. Is this the general idea? Give a list of packages ➡️ get the list of citations as a bib file

@jananiravi, here are some resources that you might like:

• grateful: an R Package to Facilitate Citation of R Packages
• Automatically generate R packages citations in Rmarkdown documents

I think there is another package with the same purpose as grateful but I can't remember the name right now. Maybe someone else will chime in.
