Results
We included one hundred and eighty seven (n=187) subjects in the study.
We also include a plot of data in this manuscript – please see Fig 1.
Some journals want you to put all figures at the end of the script, in which case you just write something like this:
<< FIGURE Fig 1 ABOUT HERE >>
No manuscript can hope to be published without at least one table, so please see Table 1
Figures
Discussion
..add some smart and insightful comments, with lots of citations, one at the time[1] or several in one go[2–4].
Conclusions
Often you will be required to submit your paper as a Word document … there is no good reason why publishers could not actually accept HTML or a quarto script instead, but not everyone is as tech savvy as us.
Often it is not possible, or at least difficult, to render a word document exactly the way the journal stipulated in the Instruction for Authors.
You end up having to balance the time and effort invested in getting your quarto document to comply with the journals exact requirements, versus the time and effort necessary to manually amend the word document after rendering and before submitting.
If you do have to make manual changes to the word document after rendering from quarto, you should
- consider whether it is possible to amend you quarto script instead of the word doc and
- if not, make a note of what manual changes you apply to the word doc
… because, when you come back (e.g. after peer review), you will have to re-render the word document and therefor also re-apply the manual changes.

This is a footnote … some journals want the coverletter as a separate document. By the way, you can also do multiline footnotes – go online and search for “quarto footnote longnote”↩︎
