Generate the appropriate citation for your data

neon_citation(product = NULL, download_date = Sys.Date(), dir = neon_dir())

Arguments

product: A NEON productCode or list of product codes, see examples.
download_date: Date of download to be included in citation. default is today's date, see details.
dir: Location where files should be downloaded. By default will use the appropriate applications directory for your system (see tools::R_user_dir()). This default also be configured by setting the environmental variable NEONSTORE_HOME, see Sys.setenv or Renviron.

Value

returns a utils::bibentry object, which can be used as text or formatted for bibtex.

Details

Note that the neon_download() does not record download date for each file. Citing a single product download date is after all rather meaningless, as parts of a products may not have all been downloaded on different dates. Indeed, neon_download() is designed in precisely this way, to allow easy updating of downloads without re-downloading older data.
