R-Ladies Freiburg (English) - Create beautiful documents, presentations, & articles with R Markdown!
Channel: R-Ladies Global
Date: 2022-04-22

Taught by Julia Müller (@JuliaMuellerFr), PhD student at the University of Freiburg.

In this workshop, we introduced the magic of R Markdown and showed how to create effective reports, presentations, and articles with it.

In an R Markdown file, you can effortlessly combine R code, output (such as plots or tables or model estimates) and text. The result can be exported ("knitted") to several kinds of documents including html and pdf files.
R Markdown also saves you a lot of the hassle of typical word processors because a lot of the formatting is consistently handled for you. Beyond that, R Markdown files help make research more reproducible so that you can easily handle modifications, additional data or analyses.

We started the workshop by discussing the typical structure of an R Markdown document, showed you how to effortlessly format text and code blocks, and include images and links. Then, we took a look at journal articles (including references and a bibliography) and finally saw a quick example of slides made with revealjs and R Markdown.
