;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].
