Citations in scientific presentations should be readable and easy to follow for the audience even at the back of the room.

I wrote the tiny #rstats package {namedropR} to make this easy to achieve for speakers.

A quick 'How to' is in the thread below.

With accessible citations you'll help listeners to quickly take a note and continue to follow your story line.

When you prepare a talk and want to point the audience to your (or others') papers, without putting too much work into it.

With a single line of #rstats code you can render readable references w/ qr codes for your whole library.

@basepair use of the drake meme seems backwards, like you don't want people to follow your talk but to decipher screenshots of the referenced material

@2ck the meme aims at the status quo, so the intention is to show that parts of the audience might just du that, getting distracted by looking up/taking notes of poorly recognisable citations instead of following the talk.
That's where the package should help.

I suppose I could have made the context clearer. Thanks for the feedback.
