tools for research

reviews of academic research tools

Experiment 1 - open source and on-line.

Can you do a university course using open source and free online software? I’m going to try to do an entire semester’s work without touching proprietary applications. The goals are:

  • Interoperability - everyone has to be able to read my work at the end
  • Cross platform - I should be able to work at a PC _and_ a Mac, though as I’m not working on a linux box ATM I’m not going to test that.

the tools I’ll need are (to begin with);

  • An editor
  • biblographical software
  • notes storage

Any suggestions?
