About this format and the R Journal requirements

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.
