# Introduction {#introduction}

## Welcome {#welcome}
Thank you for your interest in the childfree package! This vignette contains codebooks for dataframes created by the package's functions from publicly-accessible data. The [Introduction to Childfree](childfree.html) vignette provides a more general introduction.

The `childfree` package can be cited as:

**Neal, Z. P. and Neal, J. W. (2024). childfree: An R package to access and harmonize childfree demographic data. *Comprehensive R Archive Network*. [https://cran.r-project.org/package=childfree](https://cran.r-project.org/package=childfree)**

For additional resources on the childfree package, please see [https://www.zacharyneal.com/childfree](https://www.zacharyneal.com/childfree).

If you have questions about the childfree package or would like a childfree package hex sticker, please contact the maintainer Zachary Neal by email ([zpneal\@msu.edu](mailto:zpneal@msu.edu)). Please report bugs in the backbone package at [https://github.com/zpneal/childfree/issues](https://github.com/zpneal/childfree/issues).
