Formatting Tools for Scientific Journal Writing // Scientific journal numeric formatting policies implemented in code. Emphasis on formatting mean/upper/lower sets of values to pasteable text for journal submission. For example c(2e6, 1e6, 3e6) becomes "2.00 million (1.00--3.00)". Lancet and Nature have built-in styles for rounding and punctuation marks. Users may extend journal styles arbitrarily. Four metrics are supported; proportions, percentage points, counts and rates. Magnitudes for all metrics are discovered automatically.
