OneNote meets LaTeX: I was looking for an easier way to write my bachelor thesis. And I tried a tool that surprised me in a positive way.

No formatting chaos, much easier addition of citations and bibliography, no manual rearranging of page breaks. Instead, I was able to concentrate much more on writing:

Code Like A Girl · The Smarter Way to Write Your Thesis: OneNote Meets LaTeXBy Sarah Lea

Working on a scientific paper and need to quickly insert a citation?

If you’ve used #JabRef before, you might know the “push to application” feature. Now, JabRef supports cite-as-you-write (CAYW)! (Also known as “cite while you write”)

In #TeXstudio, press c three times to open the citation dialog—no plugin needed.

🛠 Setup guide:

Big thanks to @phlp for implementing this!

JabRef’s Blog · JabRef offers basic Cite As You Write (CAYW) functionalityHello, I’m Philip, one of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) students at JabRef this year, and I will be giving you a small introduction on JabRef’s new Cite As You Write (CAYW) feature.

When working on assignments, esp. postgraduate level, one might receive feedback about "more criticality needed", "offer more analysis", "too descriptive". Just posted this to my #RD62001 module, which gives a good introduction to "criticality":

It's been a long time since I've translated an academic paper.

I'd forgotten how much academics like to pad and obfuscate.

So much of my translation work in recent years has been for museums, where the goal is concise, clear, easy-to-read copy—the polar opposite of most academic writing, come to think of it.

Dear client, this translation is likely to make your paper readable. My apologies! 😳😬🙄
