Citing Data Sources
Always cite the original data providers when using their data. This is not only required by most data licenses (such as CC-BY), but is also an essential practice in research.
The PRIOGRID package makes citation easy. If your dataset includes
PRIOGRID variables that haven’t been renamed, simply use the
pgcitations() function to retrieve the appropriate
citations for all data sources in your dataset.
variables <- c("hilde_urban", "cru_tmp")
pgcitations(variables)## ## Package Citation

You can also just get the biblatex entries using
pgcitations(variables, as_biblatex = T).
