<p>Welcome back everyone to another year of exciting R-Ladies events!</p> <p>For our first event of 2019 two of our organisers, Anna and Soroor, will be giving a workshop on Producing Publication-Ready Documents in R Markdown!</p> <p>R Markdown with its simple syntax can be easily turned into a powerful tool to combine R analysis with formatted text, to produce publication-quality documents such as books, journal papers, homework reports, and theses. Come and join us in this meet up to find out more.</p> <p>We will cover<br/>- Formatting section headings, chapters, table of content, font size, line space and margins<br/>- Referencing tables, figures, chapters, equations<br/>- Citation styles, managing Bibliography records with bibTex<br/>- Mathematical equations with Latex<br/>- Inserting images, figures, and tables</p> <p>Please bring your laptop laptop so you can try to write your own sample paper and get help if you get stuck!!</p> <p>This event will be hosted by our wonderful sponsor Nous. Pizza and drinks will be provided for the evening.</p> <p>Can't wait to see you all there!</p> <p>A little bit about Anna and Soroor:</p> <p>Soroor is a Research Assistant in Davis laboratory in the Bioinformatics Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.
