Preparing, Checking, and Submitting Articles to the R Journal

The goal of rjtools is to make it easier for AUTHORS of R Journal articles to

  1. create a new paper from a template that will produce both html and pdf versions in the format needed by the journal, and
  2. to run various checks on their paper, that it satisfies various requirements, in preparation for submitting it to the journal.

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rjournal/rjtools")

Checking that your paper satisfies various conditions

Explore the various check_XXX functions that will check the format of your article, and some submission requirements.

Please render the article using these lines:

pandoc::pandoc_activate(version = '3.1.6')
rmarkdown::render("quokka-bilby.Rmd", output_format = "all")

in your R Console. Also make sure the output in the yaml is set as:

output: 
  rjtools::rjournal_pdf_article:
    toc: no
  rjtools::rjournal_web_article:
    self_contained: yes
    toc: no
