Formatting

First, for anything regarding

• figure formatting (incl. patchwork)
• figure cross-referencing
• table formatting
• table cross-referencing
• hiding R code and/or output in your knitted document
• what to do when your document fails to knit

revisit the DAPR1 formatting resources.

LaTeX symbols and equations

Anything you’ve seen that’s written between two dollar signs is LaTeX code (specifically using what’s called “math mode”).

By embedding LaTeX (pronounced “lay-teck”) into RMarkdown, you can accurately and precisely format mathematical expressions, ensuring that they are not only technically correct but also visually appealing and easy to interpret.

For an overview of how to integrate LaTeX symbols and equations, review Lesson 9 of the RMD bootcamp.

APA formatting

APA format is a writing/presentation style that is often used in Psychology to ensure consistency in communication. APA formatting applies to all aspects of writing: from formatting papers (including tables and figures) to citing sources. This means that it also applies to how you present results in your Psychology courses, including DAPR2.

All results should be presented following APA guidelines.

You should also follow APA style rules for tables and figures.
