This repository contains an experimental Markdown template for the Research article type. It is able to annotation citations with the CiTO ontology.
To use this template, you need a pandoc installation
(version 2.12 or higher). A Makefile is provided to convert
the article.Rmd template into a Word .docx (default), .html, and a PDF file:
make article.docx
make article.pdf
make article.htmlAlternatively, RStudio (latst version) can be used with the article.Rmd file.
The following article types have a template
Copy the template into the same folder as this README as article.Rmd.
The template is aimed at the Research article type, and already contains the required sections. The article is written in the Markdown syntax. The template can be used as regular Markdown file, and in RStudio and it contains in the YAML header instructions which options to select for either.
A lot of documentation can be found in this Pandoc Markdown website.
The template supports CiTO annotation and the template contains instructions on how to use them. This feature is based on earlier work by Krewinkel et al. [1].
When the manuscript is finished and ready for submissions, the PDF and Word outputs both come in handy. The PDF can be used to submit the manuscript to a preprint server, while the Word version can be used to submit the manuscript to the journal.
This template would not exist without the work by Albert Krewinkel @kraut0xA.
