We can't include that kind of disclaimer in an academic paper. An academic citation follows a very specific format. I give you an example from the statnet package that I use regularly for my analysis:

Handcock M, Hunter D, Butts C, Goodreau S, Krivitsky P, Bender-deMoll S and Morris M (2015). statnet: Software Tools for the Statistical Analysis of Network Data. The Statnet Project.

You can also provide the bibliographic entry, so that the users can format the citation according to the outlet they publish in:

@Misc{,
  author = {Mark S. Handcock and David R. Hunter and Carter T. Butts and Steven M. Goodreau and Pavel N. Krivitsky and Skye Bender-deMoll and Martina Morris},
  title = {statnet: Software Tools for the Statistical Analysis of Network Data},
  organization = {The Statnet Project (\url{http://www.statnet.org})},
  year = {2015},
  note = {R package version 2015.6.2},
  url = {CRAN.R-project.org/package=statnet},
}
