Overview

About

Maintained by David M. KaplanCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a generic, publisher-independent Rmarkdown template for writing scientific papers and reports in Rmarkdown. The template allows for all the basic features of a scientific article, including a title page with author affiliations and footnotes possibly shown in two common formats, multi-language abstracts and keywords, page headers and footers, and the ability to place figures and tables at the end of the output PDF. Smart cross-referencing of figures, tables, equations and sections is provided using the bookdown package. See package README.md for basic package usage.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/starticles/starticles_0.1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "starticles_0.1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dmkaplan2000/starticles")

Development version from dmkaplan2000/starticles. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
