Academic Writing in Markdown
Markdown helps me focus on the writing rather than organizing and formatting. See how to set up your workflow for academic writing in Markdown.
Software/tools that I am currently using:
- Zettlr (Zettelkasten, best integration with Zotero: in-app look up citation, one click to open associated PDF)
- Obsidian (Zettelkasten, similar to Roam Research but offline. Local network graphs!)
- Roam-Highligher - Chrome Extension (great to taking notes on webpages and paste highlights in markdown)
- HackMD (Zettelkasten, GitHub integration, online collboration, publish, comments)
Research resources and tools
A growing database of research softwares(DEVONthink, Notion, Stata), research methods(rtweet, workshops, and online courses (CARMA).
Essential tools:
- Inoreader (powerful automation tools to tag, highlight, and monitor keywords)
- Pandoc, Zotero & Better BibTex (citation & reference)
