Create a Memo File for Your Academic Project

create_memo() creates an R Markdown for a memo to go with your academic project.

create_memo(path)

Arguments

path

a path in which to place the memo file. Defaults to current working directory in the absence of a user-specified argument. User-supplied arguments here should be understood as subdirectories relative to current working directory. Assume that the current working directory is something like /home/steve/, then specifying a path of "Documents" in this argument would create the memo file in /home/steve/Documents. Just be mindful about your setup if you experiment with this argument.

Value

create_memo() creates a memo.Rmd file in the path requested by user. Users can create a memo at any time during the submission timeline of the academic project, but I think of these documents as typically something a user writes when offered an opportunity to revise and resubmit a manuscript. That would explain why the skeleton file is structured the way it is.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Creates a `memo.Rmd` file in working directory
create_memo()

# Creates a `memo.Rmd` in subdirectory of working directory

create_memo("subdirectory")
}
