Markdown template for Journal of Cheminformatics Research papers

This repository contains an experimental Markdown template for the Research article type. It is able to annotation citations with the CiTO ontology.

Requirements

To use this template, you need a pandoc installation (version 2.12 or higher). A Makefile is provided to convert the article.md template into a Word .docx or a PDF file:

make article.docx
make article.pdf

Alternatively, RStudio (latst version) can be used with the article.Rmd file.

Selecting the template

The following article types have a template

• Release article

For RStudio, copy the template into the same folder as this README as article.Rmd. When using the Makefile, save it as article.md.

Writing the article

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.

CiTO support

The template supports CiTO annotation and the template contains instructions on how to use them.

Submission to JCheminform.

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.
