Format for AAAS Science Journal

[sasank89]

Hi! @cderv

This is in reference to issue #320 . I have tried to do what I can. I do have some doubts which are given in /templates/science/resources/doubts.md. I have added my doubts in detail to the individual things below.

To contribute a new article template to this package, please make sure you have done the following things (note that journalname_article below is only an example name):

• [ ] This project uses a Contributor Licence Agreement (CLA) that you'll be asked to sign when opening a PR. This is required for a significant pull request (it is fine not to sign it if a PR is only intended to fix a few typos). We use a tool called CLA assistant for that.
  You could also, unless you have done it in any other RStudio's projects before, sign the individual or corporate contributor agreement. You can send the signed copy to jj@rstudio.com.

• [ ] Add the journalname_article() function to R/article.R if the output format is simple enough, otherwise create a separate R/journalname_article.R.

  Have done this bit. I am not sure how to word the function. Is this the function that is responsible for generating the output. I am not clearly understanding how the data is flowing through this.

• [ ] Add the Pandoc LaTeX template inst/rmarkdown/templates/journalname/resources/template.tex.

  Added. I also included the original template from the Science website

• [ ] Add a skeleton article inst/rmarkdown/templates/journalname/skeleton/skeleton.Rmd.

  Added. Might update this as rest changes.

• [X] Add a description of the template inst/rmarkdown/templates/journalname/template.yaml.

• [ ] Please include the document class file (*.cls) if needed, but please do not include standard LaTeX packages (*.sty) that can be downloaded from CTAN. If you are using TinyTeX or TeX Live, you can verify if a package is available on CTAN via tinytex::parse_packages(files = "FILENAME"") (e.g., when FILENAME is plain.bst, it should return "bibtex", which means this file is from a standard CTAN package). Please keep the number of new files absolutely minimal (e.g., do not include PDF output files), and also make examples minimal (e.g., if you need a .bib example, try to only leave one or two bibliography entries in it, and don't include too many items in it without using all of them).

• [ ] Update Rd and namespace (could be done by devtools::document()).

• [ ] Update NEWS.

• [ ] Update README with a link to the newly supported journal. Please add your Github username and the full name of the journal (follow other examples in the list).

  Not yet done.

• [ ] Add a test to tests/testit/test-formats.R by adding a line test_format("journalname"). We try to keep them in alphabetical order.

  Not yet done. Will do once the template etc is finalised.

• [ ] Add your name to the list of authors Authors@R in DESCRIPTION. You don't need to bump the package version in DESCRIPTION.

  Not yet done.

Thank you so much for any guidance to improve this and help me close this PR.

Hi @sasank89,

I have merge master branch into this PR so that it is easier to start on better grounds next time you'll work on this.

Do you plan to continue this PR any time soon ?

No rush, just to know the status on this.

Hi @cderv ,

So sorry I dropped off for a few months. Unfortunately, I did not get much time to work on this the past few months. I do want to work on it and complete it. Hopefully, I will be able to do more in the coming months.

Hi @sasank89,

No problem. Take your time on it, I am in no hurry. I'll just continue to ping once in a while to get status update so that I know if this becomes stale or not.

Happy to help in any way, so please do ping me for anything that I could help with to add this article format.

Thanks for your time and work on this !

@sasank89 Just to share that there is another try at this in #486
