The following Info files are provided by ‘r-minimal’:

This package is propagated by ‘r’.  Thus, you can access these manuals
for instance with:

  guix shell r info-reader -- info R-intro

You can replace ‘info-reader’ by ‘emacs’; the key here is that this sets
the ‘INFOPATH’ environment variable.

Does it work for you?

HTH,
Ludo’.
