Description
with recent versions of pandoc (I have tried with v3.2 and v3.4), I have noticed that the link-citations option in the JOSS template fails.
When the YAML option link-citations: yes is enabled, the citations do not get linked, and are displayed as their bibtex index in the rendered PDF, e.g: [ref-astropy].
To replicate:
In RStudio:
- install
rticlespackage - create new RMarkdown "From Template"
- select "Journal of Open Source Software Article"
- edit the
<title>.Rmdfile and addlink-citations: yesin YAML header knitthe document

Research direction
Start with the Journal of Open Source Software Article template created by the RStudio reproduction steps, and test the YAML option link-citations: yes using pandoc 3.2 and 3.4. Compare the rendered PDF with the expected linked citations; done means citations are linked rather than displayed as BibTeX indexes such as [ref-astropy].
