Background
Latex handles all the formatting/presentation, allowing you to concentrate on content in a natural way of thinking.
Latex produces "book quality" documents with an excellent support for formula and equations. It allows to handle labelled references, figures, tables and bibliography. Almost all of the journals accept this format.
Objective
This workshop does not pretend to be a complete introduction to LATEX and BibTEX. There are plenty of tutorials written on the internet. There is a simple goal: get you up to speed on using LATEX and BibTEX on a correct way to communicate science.
Methodology
We will begin by writing a simple "Hello, World!" document, just to get you up and running. We then show how to set the title page and abstract and spend some time discussing section headers. We will spend quite some time discussing references. Then, we will be ready to discover BibTEX. During the workshop, we will also remember major guidelines for improving scientic writing.
Requirements
Own personal computer. Aimed at PhD students and researches.
Duration
One day session of 3-4 hours with a 20 minutes break.
