As the rejuvenation of Spring returns to these frigid lands, exams are written and grades returned, the prospect of Free Time seems less and less a myth. Ideas start to flow, papers start to take shape.
Spring is indeed a wonderful time.
Linux and Research Writing One of the primary tasks in research is the communication of existing research and the context it can provide into the primary literature. Many journals accept a number of different formats, many of these formats are commercial formats however. Usually, writing with a spreadsheet is an iterative process, where formatting and writing happens at the same time. A common argument against that approach to writing is that it tends to make the writer spends more time working on the presentation of the text than writing. Separating the writing process from the markup process allows the writer to completely focus on formatting the document at once, making it easier for the writer to achieve a consistent look and feel to the document.
