Gabriela,

I don't understand what sort of citation you're seeking or what that 
citation is meant to verify or support.  Perhaps you could explain this 
more...?

In the off-chance it might be helpful, here's the entry for R-core 
included in the RPM package:

Summary     : The minimal R components necessary for a functional runtime
Description :
A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at
Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide
variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and
nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis,
classification, clustering, ...).

R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow
constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to
add additional functionality by defining new functions. For
computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked
and called at run time.
