Maintaining a Bibliography
Keep an annotated electronic list of all
papers read.
Can easily cut and paste into bibliographies
Latex does this “automatically”
Endnotes for Word?
Can easily find references
Can easily refresh your memory on what
was found.
Review/Survey Papers
Good place to start
Survey/Review Papers
ACM Computing Surveys Journal
Journals like to publish review papers
Impact factors: how often are papers in the
journal cited in other journals
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_factor)
Latex
LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system
Based on TeX designed by Donald Knuth
Uses commands to define parts of a
document:
\title{The Title}
Actual format is determined by the style
definition, not the author
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
Latex example
\documentclass{article}
\title{Robots are Cool}
\author{Jane Doe}
\date{September 1994}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Hello world!
\section{Background}
Other cool research\cite{doe2012}
\end{document}
Latex
Great for equations
Good for tables
Can embed figures
Good for bibliographies
