What did you do?

I used bib2df to parse the bibliography file containing information about all previous articles of the R Journal, to then filter articles whose title contained the word “CRAN”, since I wanted to see how often the CRAN team had published articles giving updates on their policies and processes.

Wow! I have to take a look on this package. I’m working in a project rather adapted to personal requirements and oriented to JabRef: biblio (see functions read_bib() and write_bib()).
