#' Generate Citation for HCUP Resources
#'
#' Provides recommended citations for HCUP resources including Clinical
#' Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) data and Summary Trend Tables from
#' the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and
#' Utilization Project (HCUP).
#'
#' @param format Character string specifying the citation format. Must be one
#'   of: "text" (default), "bibtex", or "r" (for R citation object).
#' @param version Character string specifying the CCSR version to cite. If
#'   "latest" (default), the function will attempt to fetch the latest version
#'   from the HCUP website. Otherwise, specify a version like "v2026.1".
#' @param resource Character string specifying which HCUP resource to cite.
#'   Options: "ccsr" (default) for CCSR data, or "trend_tables" for Summary
#'   Trend Tables.
#'
#' @return If `format` is "text", returns a character string with the citation.
#'   If `format` is "bibtex", returns a character string with BibTeX format.
#'   If `format` is "r", returns an R citation object.
#'
#' @details
#' This function generates citations for HCUP resources following AHRQ/HCUP
#' guidelines. The citation includes the appropriate version number and
#' access date. For CCSR data, the version is automatically detected if not
#' specified. For Summary Trend Tables, the citation references the general
#' HCUP Summary Trend Tables resource.
