Adding information to top-left of first page of "JOU"

[drfurtado]

I was wondering if you could guide me on how to add some information (see attached image) on the top-left of the first page I render it as JOU?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the volume field, just add a \\newline to separate the lines. You can also put LaTeX formatting in the fields to achieve the effect you are looking for. For example:

format:
  apaquarto-pdf:
    journal: "\\bfseries \\scriptsize Journal of Kinesiology and Wellness"
    volume: "\\vskip 1mm A Publication of the Western Society for Kinesiology and Wellness\\newline Volume 12, Number 1, Pages 1--9, 2023\\newline ISSN# 2323-4505"
    documentmode: jou

Excellent! Is there a way to control the font size? The results is bit small compared to rest of the info on that page. Also, how do I increase the space between the title and the added info on the top?

Use \vskip 2cm to move the title down by 2cm. For example,

title: "\\vskip 2cm \\bfseries Acute Beetroot Supplementation May Improve Blood Pressure \\\\ But Not Exercise Economy in Female Masters Swimmers"

The LaTeX commands for font size: \tiny \scriptsize \footnotesize \small \normalsize \large \Large \LARGE \huge \Huge

In yaml, you will need to use double backslashes for all LaTeX commands, For example,

title: "\\vskip 2cm \\bfseries Acute Beetroot Supplementation May Improve Blood Pressure \\\\ But Not Exercise Economy in Female Masters Swimmers"
format:
  apaquarto-pdf:
    journal: "\\bfseries \\Large Journal of Kinesiology and Wellness"
    volume: "\\vskip 1mm \\large A Publication of the Western Society for Kinesiology and Wellness \\newline Volume 12, Number 1, Pages 1--9, 2023\\newline ISSN# 2323-4505"

Thank you so much for your help. Please allow me to ask another question. The text is being pushed all to the end of the first page. Is there a way to control for it?

The fig-import1 chunk was producing an image that was too large to fit in the column when in jou mode. Setting out-width to 50% fixed the problem. I just uploaded a new version with several other fixes.
