  I did some trawling on the ISI web of science,
selecting all papers citing all papers
with "R DEV COR TEAM" in the author field
(which is how ISI seems to be tagging things).
The results are interesting -- about 2400 references.
Enjoy these summaries ...

urlpref = "http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/R_isidata"
types = c("author","country","doctype","inst","lang","pubyr",
  "source","subject")
files = paste("isidat_",types,".txt",sep="")
dat = lapply(paste(urlpref,files,sep="/"),
  function(f) {
    read.table(f,quote="\"",header=TRUE,as.is=TRUE)})
tmpf = function(x) {
  x = head(x,10)
  barplot(x[,ncol(x)-1],horiz=TRUE,names.arg=x[,1],cex.names=0.8)
}
layout(matrix(c(rep(1:6,each=2),rep(7:8,each=3)),ncol=6,nrow=3,byrow=TRUE))
par(las=1,mar=c(1,7,1,1))
invisible(lapply(dat[1:6],tmpf))
par(las=1,mar=c(1,16,1,1))
invisible(lapply(dat[7:8],tmpf))
