Description

A Generic, Publisher-Independent Template for Writing Scientific Documents in 'rmarkdown'

Details

This package provides a 'rmarkdown' template for authoring scientific documents that is publisher independent. Though the template can be used by itself for many types of scientific documents and likely for submitting publications to many journals, it is primarily intended as a starter format for writing a scientific publication before one has chosen a specific target journal. Once an article has been written, the format can be quickly adapted for use with the rticles package. See the package vignette for more details.
