Grappling with writing a paper in RMarkdown...

I have submitted a manuscript to F1000Research as part of the Bioconductor Gateway. It's about drawProteins.

The workflow involved:

  1. Writing text and code in RMarkdown using R Studio
  2. Using BiocWorkflowTools (https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/BiocWorkflowTools.html)
  3. Putting in citations from Bibdesk
  4. Knitting with knitr in R Studio which creates multiple files...
    1. A PDF
    2. A tex file
    3. A folder of latex figures (names not ideal, I think).
  5. Uploading files to Overleaf
  6. Logging into F1000Research
  7. Linking into Overleaf
  8. The uploading a Word file too (separate Rmd file and Knit required and some manual editing - WHY?)
  9. Adding cover letter
  10. Identifying referees - finding emails can be difficult!

A busy day of work...

Here are a few of the resources I used to help write the manuscript:
