rjtools

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")

Getting started with a new article

To create an article template under the project directory:

library(rjtools)
create_article(name = "quokka-bilby")

To examine how the papers in this format would look in an R Journal issue, take a look at the June 2021 issue https://journal.r-project.org/issues/2021-1/. Particularly articles by Wang, and two articles by Kane, and the editorial.

• To learn more on the article creation, read Create an R Journal Article.

• For more information on the R Journal format, specifically how to create figures, tables, among others with the new format, read More details on the R Journal format.

• The rendered template article is showcased in The Article Template.
