Research Tools for the Beginner
Kieran Haley, a Sociologist at Duke has an interesting paper that provides advice on research tools for beginning graduate students—or perhaps for brand new faculty members—in the social sciences. Haley has a Uses This profile that gives a précis of … Continue reading
Reproducible Journalism?
Longtime readers know that we here at Irreal do not generally hold journalists in high regard. Putting the best light on things, they are all too often ignorant and lazy. Still, Irreal is nothing if not dedicated to the scientific … Continue reading
Org Mode for Research Papers
Vikas Rawal has an excellent introduction to using Org-mode for writing academic research papers. Rawal is mainly interested in statistical studies so his introduction emphasizes R but not in a way that excludes using his notes for other languages. Almost … Continue reading
Reproducible Science
Ars Technica has an interesting article up entitled Nature Editorial: If you want reproducible science, the software needs to be open source. I’ve written a couple of times about reproducible research and how Emacs and Org Mode make it particularly … Continue reading
More On SQL For Arbitrary Data
In response to my recent post on Making Ad Hoc SQL Tables From Org Tables, commenter Fritz Grabo points to another, more general system, for doing the same thing. As Grabo points out, the method depends on the external package … Continue reading
Org-mode Versus Jupyter Notebook
John D. Cook, a consulting mathematician, who runs the TeX and Typography Twitter feed as well as several similar—mostly mathematically focused—feeds has two posts that consider using Org-mode instead of Jupyter Notebook. It’s interesting because it comes from someone who … Continue reading

Robin Schroer has an interesting project that recently landed in MELPA. Many of you know that I’m a big fan of reproducible research and its handmaiden literate programming. Schroer’s project is a sort of light-weight Jupyter Notebook that’s integrated with … Continue reading
Scimax and Reproducibility
The College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon has an interesting article on their Web site about John Kitchin and his work on Scimax. I’ve written about Scimax several times (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) so longtime Irreal readers … Continue reading
Generating Technical Documents with Org-mode
Mike Hamrick has put up an excellent video on using Emacs and Org-mode to publish nice looking and consistent technical documents.
