journalR: Formatting Tools for Scientific Journal Writing

Scientific journal numeric formatting policies implemented in code. Emphasis on formatting mean/upper/lower sets of values. Convert raw numeric triplet value vectors to formatted 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. Three metrics are supported; proportions, percentage points, and counts. Magnitudes for all metrics are discovered automatically.
