Hi Jan,

Hi all,
Upon reading this, I decided to check that this worked in the plotrix
package. The first format is correct, but for some reason the BibTeX
format isn't:

To cite package 'plotrix' in publications use:

    Lemon, J. (2006) Plotrix: a package in the red light district of R.
    R-News, 6(4): 8-12.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is

    @Article{,
      year = {2010},
      title = {Plotrix: a package in the red light district of R},
      journal = {R-News},
      volume = {6},
      number = {4},
      pages = {8-12},
      author = {{Lemon} and {J}},
    }

There is no mention of 2010 in the CITATION file, but I am suspicious of
the "meta$date" in the file. Perhaps this will alert whoever attends to
this function that something is not quite right.

"meta$date" is in the source file (in inst/CITATION). You could change it to 2006 manually.

I suspect if that file was automatically produced it is trying to reproduce the date of the current version of the package, for packages that don't have an associated article.
