Editing CommunityData:Introduction to CDSC Resources (section)

== Creating Documents and Presentations ==
=== Planning ===
You can develop a research plan in whatever way works best, but one thing that may be useful is the outline of a [[CommunityData:Planning document |Matsuzaki-style planning documents]] and the [[CommunityData:Qualitative planning document|qualitative planning document]]. You can see a detailed outline description [https://wiki.communitydata.science/CommunityData:Planning_document here] to help guide the planning process. If you scroll to the bottom, you'll see who to contact to get some good examples of planning documents.

Also helpful in developing a research plan might be some of the readings in this course taught by Aaron to PhD students: [https://wiki.communitydata.science/Practice_of_scholarship_(Spring_2019) Practice of Scholarship (SP19)].

=== Paper building ===
We typically write LaTeX documents when writing papers. One option to do this is to use the web-based [https://www.overleaf.com/ Overleaf]. Another option, using CDSC TeX templates, is detailed [https://wiki.communitydata.science/CommunityData:TeX here]. These comes with some assumptions about your workflow, which you can learn about here: [[CommunityData:Build papers]].

If you're creating graphs and tables or formatting numbers in R that you want to put into a TeX document, you should look at the [https://wiki.communitydata.science/CommunityData:Knitr knitr package].

Some more specific things that might crop up in building the La/TeX document:
* [[CommunityData:Embedding fonts in PDFs]] — <code>ggplot2</code> creates PDFs with fonts that are not embedded which, in turn, causes the ACM to bounce our papers back. This page describes how to fix it.

=== Building presentation slides ===
Below are some options to creating presentation slides (though, feel free to use what you want and are most comfortable with):
* [[CommunityData:Beamer]] — Beamer is a LaTeX document class for creating presentation slides. This is a link to installing/using [[Mako]]'s beamer templates.
** Again, like the CDSC TeX templates, these Beamer templates also come with some assumptions about your workflow, which you can learn about here (again): [[CommunityData:Build papers]].

* [[CommunityData:reveal.js]] — Using RMarkdown to create reveal.js HTML presentations
