In jefferis/paperutils: Support preparation of journal articles from LyX/pdflatex output

paperutils

R package with utility functions to support preparation of journal articles

Introduction

We use a toolchain consisting of

1. LyX + pdflatex
2. Bibdesk (or Jabref etc)
3. Adobe Illustrator
4. R

to prepare our journal articles for submission. This package contains functions that are useful for checking which files are currently linked in the master LyX document (e.g. to ensure they are gitified). It also contains functions to work with the output from pdflatex

Installation

System Dependencies

• pdftk
• ghostscript e.g. from mactex
• perl

R Dependencies

The package scholar is necessary for some bibliography related functions. However currently the CRAN version is missing the ability to specify a number of publications to return for each author, so that only 20 can be returned. Therefore the package installs the latest version from GitHub.

Package Install

Install straight from github with Hadley Wickham's devtools package:

if(!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jefferis/paperutils")
