R Language Bibliography in RMD Specifying a bibliography and cite authors
Example
The most important part of your RMD file is the YAML header. For writing an academic paper, I suggest to use PDF output, numbered sections and a table of content (toc).
---
title: "Writing an academic paper in R"
author: "Author"
date: "Date"
output:
pdf_document:
number_sections: yes
toc: yes
bibliography: bibliography.bib
---
In this example, our file bibliography.bib looks like this:
@ARTICLE{Meyer2000,
AUTHOR="Bernd Meyer",
TITLE="A constraint-based framework for diagrammatic reasoning",
JOURNAL="Applied Artificial Intelligence",
VOLUME= "14",
ISSUE = "4",
PAGES= "327--344",
YEAR=2000
}
To cite an author mentioned in your .bib file write @ and the bibkey, e.g. Meyer2000.
# Introduction
`@Meyer2000` results in @Meyer2000.
`@Meyer2000 [p. 328]` results in @Meyer2000 [p. 328]
`[@Meyer2000]` results in [@Meyer2000]
`[-@Meyer2000]` results in [-@Meyer2000]

Rendering the RMD file via RStudio (Ctrl+Shift+K) or via console rmarkdown::render("<path-to-your-RMD-file">) results in the following output:
