[R] Citation for stock price data from Quantmod

[Ebert,Timothy Aaron]

Yes, you need to cite the source of data and the method for retrieval. You also need to cite programs used in manipulating the data, cleaning the data, and analyzing the data. I should be able to read what you wrote, and using those methods recover the data independently from you and finish all other steps in the analysis. I should not have to guess.

Hello!

Happy Holidays!

I have a question about citing stock price data downloaded via Quantmod, please.  Of course, I will cite Quantmod.  Do I also need to cite Yahoo Finance as the actual source of the data, please?
Also, I'm not sure if this is a question for the Finance sig, but thought I would start here.

Thank you.
