latinr is a package that streamlines the submission process to the LatinR conference.

You can install latinr from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("latinr/latinr")

Optionally, latinr can use the keyring package to safely store your credentials. In unix-based platforms, you might need to install libsodium manually. You can do this by typing one of the following commands in your terminal:

• sudo apt install libsodium-dev in Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives.

• yum install libsodium-devel in Fedora, EPEL.

• brew install libsodium in OSX.

And then:

install.packages("keyring")

If you are going to submit an article to LatinR, you will need to create an user at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=latinr2021. Then, use

latinr:::latinr_password_set()

to save your credentials in your machine.

To start writing your submission, in RStudio, go to File -> New File -> R Markdown -> From Template and choose “LatinR submission article”. This will give you an example article that uses the correct template and has the important metadata.

Alternatively, you can use the UI wizard with latinr::latinr_wizard(). It will open up a shiny interface to help you populate your submission and then save the result into a file.

When you finish writing your article, use latinr::latinr_submit(). By default, it will check that the metadata is in order, will render your rmarkdown file with anonymisation and upload it to the confference. If everything was in order, you will receive an email.

As a last step, check that your submission is in the website with the correct information.
