Authoring

As noted, you can compose your quarto code notebooks in VS Code, RStudio, Jupyter, Neovim, or a text editor.

Getting Started

The Quarto getting started page provides customized instructions based on the editor you use and the Quarto authoring tutorial shows you how to begin composing your reports.

Below, I recommend this excellent how-to video by Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine (2023) demonstrating the workflow of scientific writing supported with Quarto:

Publishing

Using the command line terminal, type: quarto publish and choose your publish target (i.e. GitHub Pages, Netlify, Quarto.pub, Posit Connect, or Other services.) The Quarto publish documentation explains the details.

Introduction to reproducible Research Practices

I believe one of the values of Quarto is being able to easily practice reproducibility principles using an intuitive and well documented workflow. To learn more about reproducibility see Little and Lafferty-Hess (2022)
