R Journal format.

This function is now deprecated in favor of the rjtools package which is now officialy recommanded by R Journal https://rjournal.github.io/submissions.html. See below for document

Usage

rjournal_article(..., keep_tex = TRUE, citation_package = "natbib")

Arguments

...

Arguments to rmarkdown::pdf_document().

keep_tex

Keep the intermediate tex file used in the conversion to PDF. Note that this argument does not control whether to keep the auxiliary files (e.g., .aux) generated by LaTeX when compiling .tex to .pdf. To keep these files, you may set options(tinytex.clean = FALSE).

citation_package

The LaTeX package to process citations, natbib or biblatex. Use default if neither package is to be used, which means citations will be processed via the command pandoc-citeproc.

About this format and the R Journal requirements

Format for creating R Journal articles. Adapted from https://journal.r-project.org/submissions.html.

This file is only a basic article template. For full details of The R Journal style and information on how to prepare your article for submission, see the Instructions for Authors

rticles::rjournal_article will help you build the correct files requirements:

• A R file will be generated automatically using knitr::purl - see https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/purl.html for more information.

• A tex file will be generated from this Rmd file and correctly included in RJwapper.tex as expected to build RJwrapper.pdf.

• All figure files will be kept in the default rmarkdown *_files folder. This happens because keep_tex = TRUE by default in rticles::rjournal_article

• Only the bib filename is to be modified. An example bib file is included in the template (RJreferences.bib) and you will have to name your bib file as the tex, R, and pdf files.
