Get BibTeX Entries Associated with peacesciencer Data and Functions

Description

ps_cite() allows the user to get citations to scholarship that they should include in their papers that incorporate the functions and data in this package.

Usage

ps_cite(x, column = "keywords")

Arguments

x	a character vector
column	a character vector for the particular column of ps_bib the user wants to search. The default here is "keywords", which searches the KEYWORDS column in ps_bib for the most general search. The other option is "bibtexkey", which will search the BIBTEXKEY column in ps_bib. Use the latter option more for pairing with output from ps_version()

Details

The base functionality here is simple pattern-matching on keywords in ps_bib. This simple pattern-matching is in base R. I assume the user has some familiarity with BibTeX.

Value

ps_cite() takes a character vector and scans the ps_bib data in this package to return a BibTeX citation (or citations) for the researcher to use to properly cite the material they are getting from this package. The citations are returned as a full BibTeX entry (or entries) that they can copy-paste into their own BibTeX file.
