Functions for generating Standardized Climate Indices (SCI). 
		SCI is a transformation of (smoothed) climate (or environmental)
		time series that  removes seasonality and forces the data to
		take values of the standard normal distribution. SCI was 
		originally developed for precipitation. In this case it is 
		known as the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI).

Remove batch effects by projecting query batches into the reference batch space.

Colour choice in information visualisation is important in order to
    avoid being mislead by inherent bias in the used colour palette. The 'scico'
    package provides access to the perceptually uniform and colour-blindness 
    friendly palettes developed by Fabio Crameri and released under the 
    "Scientific Colour-Maps" moniker. The package contains 24 different palettes 
    and includes both diverging and sequential types.

Set of tools to import, summarize, wrangle, and visualize data. 
    These functions were originally written based on the needs of the 
    various synthesis working groups that were supported by the 
    National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). 
    These tools are meant to be useful inside and 
    outside of the context for which they were designed.

Data used in Taback, N. (2022). Design and Analysis of Experiments and Observational Studies using R. Chapman & Hall/CRC.

Offers 'markdown' output formats designed with various scientific styles, allowing users to generate PDF and HTML outputs. The output has a contemporary appearance with vibrant visuals, providing numerous styles for effective highlighting. The package also includes additional features specifically tailored for front-page slides, enhancing the overall presentation and customization options. The package was created using the 'tufte' <https://rstudio.github.io/tufte/> package code as a starting point.

It involves bibliometric indicators calculation from bibliometric data.It also deals pattern analysis using the text part of bibliometric data.The bibliometric data are obtained from mainly Web of Science and Scopus.
