Today, during a Cake Chat I passed postgraduate-researchers a small survey on tools used for writing papers. This time I asked about the used software but also hardware.
Up-to-date compilation of tools, including previous surveys, can be found in Material section.
Seven people answered, numbers higher than 7 imply people signified multiple choices.
- setup – 6 laptops, 1 PC; 5 mac, 2 windows
- paper writing – 6 overleaf, 2 vs code
- drawings – 4 TikZ, 1 python, 1 quiver, 1 matcha, 1 MS word, 1 matplotlib, 1 networkx
- presentations – 4 powerpoint, 3 beamer, 1 tablet (hand-drawn) slides
- notetaking – 3 paper, 2 notion, 2 pain text, 2 phone
