rOpenSci package or resource used*
What did you do?
I was working on an R package with data to become publicly available. The data is already described and used in a scientific paper, and as such I had a bibtex citation I wanted to use as CITATION.cff on github. I was struggling to find a way to turn bibtex to cff, and asked on the forum if there were any tools to help. The citation has quite a lot of co-authors, so I didnt want to start writing all that by hand.
I got an amazing reply and {handlr} seemed to be what I was looking for.
URL or code snippet for your use case*
install.packages(handlr)
install.packages(bibtex)
# I had saved the citation in a bibtex file
handlr::bibtex_reader("CITATION.bib") |>
cff_writer("CITATION.cff")
This promptly turned
