![]() ~/research/conferences – Notes on conferences When I complete an article, I created a “submitted” folder under the specific article, and put the generated PDF in there, but up until that time I only add the non-generated files to source control (this is the generally correct practice for using any kind of source control only “source” files are included, anything that is generated from the source files is not). These are all, unsurprisingly, LaTeX documents that I edit with Vim. This contains folders that map directly to papers that I’m trying to write (or more correctly at the moment, scholarships that I’m applying for, and misc notes). The contents of these folders are as follows: ~/research/articles – Articles So, the general structure of my research repository is as follows: ~/research It is neccessary for the research repository to be private for two reasons, one obvious one is that it contains paywall-restricted PDFs, and the other is that it’s just not appropriate to have in-progress research notes be viewable by anyone. I chose bitbucket over github because bitbucket has free unlimited-space private repositories, while githubs cost money. This is a private git repository hosted on. I keep all my research, on any topic, in one generic folder, called “research”. Where is this folder? It’s in the research repository. Okay, now that you’ve read that, you understand that I save all my PDFs to a specific location, a folder like “…/research/reference library”. This simple correction is neccessary for the data to be stored properly, and the authors to be picked up correctly, etc. It’s not immediately clear to me why the bibtex are generated the wrong way from some of these sites, but nevertheless. ![]() For example, one thing I am often changing is lists of authors like: “Billy Smith, Joey Anderson” to “Billy Smith and Joey Anderson” One thing on using JabRef is that sometimes you need to correct the format that bibtex exports give you. I’ve described my custom JabRef set up on my own personal blog a few months ago, please read that for how to do this. JabRef is free, and is a very nice option for this. ![]() So, of course in order to gather research papers it is neccessary to store them in a useful way. This approach may not suit everyone, but hopefully there are at least interesting and useful ideas here that you could adapt to your own situation. things that may not neccessarily be the most user friendly or easy, but ones that follow a specific and clear pattern that makes logical sense. I also quite enjoy “systematic” approaches i.e. This approach is, obviously, tailored specifically for me, and given that I have a significant programming background, I am happy to solve some problems with actual programming. ![]() I personally find editing in vim nicer on Ubuntu, and there is one or two arguably minor things that linux has that Windows does not (XMonad, for example), but I will elaborate on these later. The great thing about this scheme is that it is adaptable to any environment that runs the tools (well, obviously) and the tools all have multi-platform support. So, the perhaps the first component of this system is, what operating system? Happily, it doesn’t exactly matter. Write up and deal with ideas in a systematic fashion.Store this information in source control for the purposes of sharing between my machines, and.Comment on them in various ways, and review these comments at large,.Specifically it is an environment that allows me to: So, I would like to share the environment that I have created for the purposes of doing research.
