From Writing and Analysis to the Repository: Taking the Scholars' Perspective on Scholarly Archiving
Marshall, C.C. From Writing and Analysis to the Repository: Taking the Scholars' Perspective on Scholarly Archiving. Proceedings of JCDL'08
This paper reports the results of a qualitative field study of the scholarly writing, collaboration, information management, and long-term archiving practices of researchers in five related subdisciplines. The study focuses on the kinds of artifacts the researchers create in the process of writing a paper, how they exchange and store materials over the short term, how they handle references and bibliographic resources, and the strategies they use to guarantee the long term safety of their scholarly materials. Not directly programming language related, but two things makes this paper relevant. First, many of the tools involved, especially those that really enhance productivity are language-based, or include DSLs (e.g., Latex, Bibtex, R (+Sweave) etc.). Second, many of us write papers, and as language geeks we surely crave great tools... So, what is you ideal tool chest when it comes to doing and publishing research? And what do you actually use everyday? |
