Improve typesetting in journal mode

[crsh]

The following changes would improve typesetting and implementation of journal mode:

• [ ] Adjust text and reference indentation (\setlength{\parindent}{0.15in} and \setlength{\parindent}{-0.15in})
• [ ] Do not include word count on first page
• [ ] Turn of line numbers by default

[mariusbarth]

It would also be nice if

• [ ] footnotes would be fully displayed

[CrumpLab]

Doing some typesetting in jou mode right now. Full width figures across both columns will overlap with text.

Solution: add out.width="\\textwidth" and fig.env="figure*" to knitr chunk

[CrumpLab]

Another issue in jou mode is long author lists run across the top of the page with no line break (if the list is too long is just runs off the page).

[crsh]

Thanks for the feedback! Proper support for jou mode is currently deferred to a later version of the package, but this kind of information is still very useful.

[CrumpLab]

No worries, keep up the fantastic work! I ended up putting things like journal and full citation info into the author note, fine for now. Another little tid-bit to consider adding at some point is support for "public significance" statements, which are now coming out in the JEPs.

Is there an equivalent workaround for tables? Some currently overlap with text in the next column when in jou format.

Hi Emily, sorry I somehow missed your post. This is discussed further here.

Another issue in jou mode is long author lists run across the top of the page with no line break (if the list is too long is just runs off the page).

is there an update or a workaround to this problem?

[competulix]

@CrumpLab how did you solve the problem with the tool long author list in the header? This kinda blocks us at the moment.

[CrumpLab]

Good question, unfortunately right now I'm not sure. I've been trying to reproduce the problem. For example, I created a new R project, then opened a new papaja template and added a whole bunch of authors. Here's the yaml I used:

---
title             : "The title"
shorttitle        : "Title"

author: 
  - name          : "First Author"
    affiliation   : "1"
    corresponding : yes    # Define only one corresponding author
    address       : "Postal address"
    email         : "[email protected]"
  - name          : "Ernst-August Doelle"
    affiliation   : "1,2"
  - name          : "someone something"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone somethisng"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone somesthing"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone something"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone somethisng"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone sosmething"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone sometshing"
    affiliation   : "1"

affiliation:
  - id            : "1"
    institution   : "Wilhelm-Wundt-University"
  - id            : "2"
    institution   : "Konstanz Business School"

I set the document class to jou, and then knit...At least for me, it seems that the long author list no longer runs off the page.

So, now I'm wondering if the problem is fixed (I recently re-installed papaja, so maybe the new version solves the problem). Or, maybe I edited the latex style file, I'll have to do some more digging.

@competulix @crsh @CrumpLab

Well it is not exactly the problem we have. The authors names overflow on the consequent pages not on the first one. Here is a reproducible example:

---
title             : "The title"
shorttitle        : "Title"

author: 
  - name          : "First Author"
    affiliation   : "1"
    corresponding : yes    # Define only one corresponding author
    address       : "Postal address"
    email         : "[email protected]"
  - name          : "Ernst-August Doelle"
    affiliation   : "1,2"
  - name          : "someone something"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone somethisng"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone somesthing"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone something"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone somethisng"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone sosmething"
    affiliation   : "1"
  - name          : "someone sometshing"
    affiliation   : "1"

affiliation:
  - id            : "1"
    institution   : "Wilhelm-Wundt-University"
  - id            : "2"
    institution   : "Konstanz Business School"

[competulix]

yeah it would be great if you could swith to first author et al. instead of all the names in the header

[CrumpLab]

Here's a work around. You can add a leftheader property into the yaml and give it any names you want:

leftheader        : "first author et al."

I noticed there was a letftheader option for author names in the apa6 class style http://ctan.sharelatex.com/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/apa6/apa6.pdf, and it seems to work for me.

[crsh]

Yes, leftheader is an option I implemented a while back for papaja. I could try to automate this for long lists of author names.

niiiice - thank you guys!
