prereg: R Markdown Templates to Preregister Scientific Studies

Description System requirements Author and Maintainer References

Description

This package provides a collection of preregistration templates for empirical scientific studies.

System requirements

prereg depends on additional software, namely,

  1. R 2.11.1 or later and

  2. pandoc 1.19 or later

  3. TeX 2013 or later.

If you work with RStudio (1.1.453 or later) pandoc should already be installed, otherwise refer to the installation instructions for your operating system.

prereg can be used with common TeX distributions, such as MikTeX on Windows, MacTeX on Mac, or TeX Live on Linux.

If you mainly use TeX to render R Markdown documents, we strongly recommend using the TinyTex distribution. It is lightweight and automatically installs missing LaTeX packages and can be installed from within R with tinytex::install_tinytex().
