In this case, it is not a publication for a journal (where I would follow the prescriptions of my academic institution, ie ETH) but an internal report for a local gvt agency.
Looking at some such reports I was horrified to find out that credits were not made (in a case I do know that R was used, butis nowhere mentionned), no mention were made of the statistical methods used (only global results were cited as god divine truths ), not to mention authors/contributors of packages methods etc... So I do fully intend to be as honest as possible....
