My workflow
Here’s a list of tools I use on a regular basis.
I use Mac OS. Most of what I do involves RStudio and \(\LaTeX\). I use \(\LaTeX\) for everything I typeset: papers, slides, posters—I also used it for my PhD thesis and my book. I have recently started to use Quarto to generate my tex
files too, but that is still \(\LaTeX\). I have tried Typst, and I think it’s worth considering too. When I have to use Word, I manage my references with EndNote (Mendeley is another option). Here’s a list of tools I use.
