It just returns the citation.

- From the help:

     Execute function ‘citation()’ for information on how to cite the
     base R system in publications.  If the name of a non-base package
     is given, the function either returns the information contained in
     the ‘CITATION’ file of the package or auto-generates citation
     information.  In the latter case the package ‘DESCRIPTION’ file is
     parsed, the resulting citation object may be arbitrarily bad, but
     is quite useful (at least as a starting point) in most cases.

Some examples:

This prints the citation for R:

#+begin_src R :results output
  citation()
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example

To cite R in publications use:

  R Development Core Team (2012). R: A language and environment for
  statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
  Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org/.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is

  @Manual{,
    title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
    author = {{R Development Core Team}},
    organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
    address = {Vienna, Austria},
    year = {2012},
    note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
    url = {http://www.R-project.org/},
  }

We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation("pkgname")’ for
citing R packages.

#+end_example

And if a package name is given, it prints the citation info of this package:

#+begin_src R :results output
  citation("graphics")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example

The ‘graphics’ package is part of R.  To cite R in publications use:

  R Development Core Team (2012). R: A language and environment for
  statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
  Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org/.

Hope this helps,
