knitcitations is an R package designed to add dynamic citations to dynamic documents created with Yihui's knitr package.
knitcitations allows dynamic citations by passing in the DOI of a paper, such as citep("10.1111/j.1461-0248.2005.00827.x") It uses crossref to look up the citation information, and can insert a parenthetical or in-text citation. A bibliography is then generated from citations and can be inserted using the command bibliography(). Citations can also be included by bibtex shortcode. A more detailed tutorial (using knitr) can be found in inst/examples.
