擬 APA 報
以 Quarto(apaquarto)或 R Markdown(papaja)造 APA 7 式報。
用
- 書 APA 式學文
- 造心或社研報
- 生含析之可複稿
- 備論或章
入
- 必:析碼與果
- 必:書庫文(.bib)
- 可:共作與屬
- 可:稿類(期刊文、生文)
行
一:擇框
甲:apaquarto(Quarto,宜)
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("wjschne/apaquarto")
乙:papaja(R Markdown)
remotes::install_github("crsh/papaja")
得:所擇框包裝成並可 library(apaquarto) 或 library(papaja) 載。
敗:因缺系依(如 PDF 用之 LaTeX)→先裝 TinyTeX:quarto install tinytex。GitHub 裝敗→察 remotes 已裝且 GitHub 可達。
二:造文(apaquarto)
造 manuscript.qmd:
---
title: "Effects of Variable X on Outcome Y"
shorttitle: "Effects of X on Y"
author:
- name: First Author
corresponding: true
orcid: 0000-0000-0000-0000
email: [email protected]
affiliations:
- name: University Name
department: Department of Psychology
- name: Second Author
affiliations:
- name: Other University
abstract: |
This study examined the relationship between X and Y.
Using a sample of N = 200 participants, we found...
Results are discussed in terms of theoretical implications.
keywords: [keyword1, keyword2, keyword3]
bibliography: references.bib
format:
apaquarto-docx: default
apaquarto-pdf:
documentmode: man
---
得:manuscript.qmd 存,YAML frontmatter 含題、短題、作者屬、摘、關詞、書庫引、APA 特格選。
敗:驗 YAML 縮進一致(2 空);author: 條用 name:、affiliations:、corresponding: 之列式;bibliography: 指向存之 .bib 文。
三:書 APA 容
# Introduction
Previous research has established that... [@smith2023; @jones2022].
@smith2023 found significant effects of X on Y.
# Method
## Participants
We recruited `r nrow(data)` participants (*M*~age~ = `r mean(data$age)`,
*SD* = `r sd(data$age)`).
## Materials
The study used the Measurement Scale [@author2020].
## Procedure
Participants completed... (see @fig-design for the study design).
# Results
```{r}
#| label: fig-results
#| fig-cap: "Mean scores by condition with 95% confidence intervals."
#| fig-width: 6
#| fig-height: 4
ggplot(summary_data, aes(x = condition, y = mean, fill = condition)) +
geom_col() +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = ci_lower, ymax = ci_upper), width = 0.2) +
theme_apa()
```
A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of condition,
*F*(`r anova_result$df1`, `r anova_result$df2`) = `r anova_result$F`,
*p* `r format_pvalue(anova_result$p)`, $\eta^2_p$ = `r anova_result$eta`.
# Discussion
The findings support the hypothesis that...
# References
得:容循 APA 節構(Introduction、Method、Results、Discussion、References)並有 inline R 為統與正 @fig-、@tbl- 交引。
敗:inline R 不渲→驗 backtick-r 語(`r expression`)。交引示為字→察所引塊標用正前綴且塊有對應 caption 選。
四:APA 式擬表
#| label: tbl-descriptives
#| tbl-cap: "Descriptive Statistics by Condition"
library(gt)
descriptive_table <- data |>
group_by(condition) |>
summarise(
M = mean(score),
SD = sd(score),
n = n()
)
gt(descriptive_table) |>
fmt_number(columns = c(M, SD), decimals = 2) |>
cols_label(
condition = "Condition",
M = "*M*",
SD = "*SD*",
n = "*n*"
)
得:表以 APA 式渲:統符斜體欄首、正小數齊、表上述述。
敗:gt 表不以 APA 式渲→確 gt 已裝且 cols_label() 用 markdown 斜體(*M*、*SD*)。papaja 用者→用 apa_table() 代 gt()。
五:管引
造 references.bib:
@article{smith2023,
author = {Smith, John A. and Jones, Mary B.},
title = {Effects of intervention on outcomes},
journal = {Journal of Psychology},
year = {2023},
volume = {45},
pages = {123--145},
doi = {10.1000/example}
}
APA 引式:
- 括:
[@smith2023]-> (Smith & Jones, 2023) - 敘:
@smith2023-> Smith and Jones (2023) - 多:
[@smith2023; @jones2022]-> (Jones, 2022; Smith & Jones, 2023)
得:references.bib 含有效 BibTeX 條,諸必欄(author、title、year、journal)齊,引鍵匹稿中所用。
敗:以在線驗器或 bibtool -d references.bib 驗 BibTeX 語法。確文中引鍵正匹 .bib 鍵(區大小)。
六:渲
# Word document (common for journal submission)
quarto render manuscript.qmd --to apaquarto-docx
# PDF (for preprint or review)
quarto render manuscript.qmd --to apaquarto-pdf
得:正擬 APA 文含題頁、running head、正擬參節。
敗:PDF 渲敗→驗 TinyTeX 已裝(quarto install tinytex)。DOCX 議→察 apaquarto Word 模可達。參不現→確文末有 # References 首。
驗
- 題頁擬正(題、作者、屬、作者注)
- 摘並含關詞
- 文中引匹參列
- 表與圖號正
- 統以 APA 擬(斜體、正符)
- 參為 APA 7 式
- 頁號與 running head 在(PDF)
忌
- inline R 擬:用 backtick-r 為 inline 統,勿硬碼
- 引鍵不匹:確文中 .bib 鍵正匹
- 圖位:APA 稿常末置圖;設
documentmode: man - 缺 CSL 文:apaquarto 含 APA CSL;papaja 用者或須定
csl: apa.csl - 摘中特符:YAML 摘塊中避 markdown 格
