Hi,
I use rmoutliers() function for my academic study.
This function implements 5 different methods:
"median", "mean", "quartiles", "grubbs", "gesd"
Is there any academic papers/book which explain how those methods work exactly?
Thank you.

If you just need the explanation of what they are doing, the method section of the function's documentation is well informing. Maybe you want to look up what's Grubbs's test specifically tho. If you are looking for references to cite (like Grubbs, 1950, for Grubbs, F. E. (1950). Sample criteria for testing outlying observations. The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 21(1), 27-58) I'd say an overview paper would do just fine (a quick google serch gave these 2 that look ok, they are also an interesting read to expand your knowledge, but maybe you can find better suited ones).
