Awesome Academic Writing Awesome

A curated list of awesome things related to academic writing.

Writing is an important part of science. Even if many scientists are in the lab all day, they have to write down their results at the end. This collection contains the best tools for academic writing for people who love distraction free writing with (Pandoc) Markdown (and do not want to drown in LaTeX source code).

Most of the software, templates, and guides depend on Pandoc and LaTeX. (Pandoc is the swiss army knife for document conversion. LaTeX is the one and only typesetting system.)

Illustrations

Drawing illustrations themselves has driven many a scientist mad. Fortunately, there are formal languages with which one can create beautiful graphics.

  • Mermaid Live Editor - Define simple diagrams instead of drawing them.
  • Vega Lite - Define charts and more complex diagrams.
  • PlantUML - Define UML diagrams instead of drawing them.
