scitations - citations for R

scitations is meant to make it easy to work with citations, whether in tidy format or not, and to convert from various formats to citations, and to various formts.

The package introduces a simple S3 class called a scitation that we can then perform many operations with or on.

There are other bibliographic packages out there - this package tries not to duplicate their efforts, while striving for a fun to use citation workflow.
