== Tables == There are three types of tables that every every quantitative paper should include: ;Univariate statistics: This should include 1-3 tables that describes the mean, median, standard deviation, and range of every variable in your analysis. If you have many categorical or dichotomous variables, you'll probably just want to show proportions and counts. ;Bivariate statistics: In most cases, a simple triangular correlation table output from <code>cor()</code> is enough. ;Regression/model results: This should should be the central piece of evidence presented in your paper. I like the tables produced by <code>screenreg()</code> (or really, <code>texreg()</code> and <code>htmlreg()</code>) in the [https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/texreg/index.html texreg package in R]. [https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/stargazer/index.html stargazer] and [https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/apsrtable/index.html apsrtable] do something very similar.
