To cite BUCSS in publications, please cite the package itself, so that the specific version and its CRAN source are credited, together with the methodological article(s) on which the analysis you report relies. Anderson, Kelley, and Maxwell (2017, Psychological Science) introduces the method; Anderson and Maxwell (2017, Multivariate Behavioral Research) gives a more technical treatment for replication; Anderson (2021, Psychological Methods) is a tutorial for the regression designs; and Anderson and Kelley (2024, Psychological Methods) extends the approach to the design of replication studies.
