A short discussion, aimed at graduate students, about why you should think carefully about your workflow applications, i.e., the software tools you use to write papers. It consists of some general principles to bear in mind together with a bunch of specific software recommendations.
This is a fork of Phil Hagelberg's emacs starter kit with additional tools included for social scientists, mostly related to writing books or papers in LaTeX and analyzing quantitative data using ESS and R. The goal is to configure Emacs in a way that makes it easier to use from the get-go. If you know about Git, you can clone the repository.
I maintain a BibTeX file of (mostly) sociology books and articles containing references cited in my own work. Additions and corrections welcome. I also periodically update a BibTeX database of philosophy articles and books, mostly metaphysics and epistemology.
Some simple LaTeX style files for typesetting papers with the Memoir class, the Listings package. Some support for tracking git commits using the VC bundle.
Every few months I get an email asking to see the LaTeX markup that I use to generate my Curriculum Vitae. So, here it is. Feel free to adapt it yourself. If you make stylistic modifications, I encourage you to fork the project on GitHub and make them available to others in the same way.
