Reproducible examples help. For package MASS do you mean? http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/index.html
Which provides information about the package and a link to the Reference manual: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/MASS.pdf In that manual data sets and functions contain a Source entry and/or References for that function or data set. For a large package such as MASS with over 150 functions/data sets, it would be unwieldy to put them all on the web page. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of carol white via R-help Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 1:28 PM To: Duncan Murdoch; R-help Help Subject: Re: [R] cite publications in the package help file the main web page is meant the page when a package is accessed on CRAN.

The package help file (e.g. foo-package.Rd for package "foo") will be displayed first in the PDF, and is the first entry linked in the help page index for the package. I don't know what page you mean as the "package main web page".
