4  Lab Resources

4.1 Repositories

A full list of John’s GitHub repos can be found here. A few frequently used ones:

  • lab_supoort: Contains R functions, chtc code, and quarto templates written for specific ARC tasks.
  • arc_measures: Copies of our collected individual difference measures and their scoring code and related reference material. Any questionnaire which is copyrighted will only have our scoring file and a link to the copyright holder, if known.

4.2 Quarto Templates

All of the following templates are quarto files for use in creating lab-related documentation

  • Simple Quarto Template. This simple template allows you to set margins/font and to switch from HTML to PDF output.

4.2.1 YAML files

Including these YAML files in a blank .qmd document sets up output for either HTML or PDF, tailored to ARC standards with respect to margins, font, etc.

TBD (CONTENTS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THESE FILES)

4.2.2 Latex Support Files

TBD

  • includes.tex - this file includes frequently used packages and their specifications. (Will expand)
  • define_headers_arc.tex - define H1 - H3 headers per John’s specifications
  • define_headers_apa.tex - define H1 - H5 headers per APA specifications
  • nih_template.tex - contains formatting related to NIH grant writing including header and bibliography formatting.

4.2.3 Manuscripts

4.2.3.1 APA

.qmd template. This is based on the template at this repo. Our version is currently under development to try and load assets from our lab_support repo rather than installing the extention files locally.

4.2.3.2 CSL files

Below are the YAML code of a couple that we use frequently (linked to the primary CSL repo)

NIH Grant Proposals:
csl: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/national-library-of-medicine-grant-proposals.csl

Elsevier (Vancouver substyle):
csl: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles-distribution/f8524f9b9df60e94e98f824f242a1fb27cc9fc59/elsevier-vancouver.csl

APA 7th Edition:
csl: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/apa.csl

Note: the apa quarto template in the lab_support repo calls its own version of the apa.csl from within its ex_apa support folder.

4.2.4 Grants

TBD

4.2.5 Other

Letterhead: .qmd template. See Susan or John for assistance in personalizing this for other lab members.
