It guides you through a whole discovery-magamement-writing-publishing workflow from the creation of annotated bibliographies in Zotero,  through a useful Markdown syntax cheat sheet  to versioning, storage and backup strategies, and shows how everybody’s research can profit by open digital methods even without sophisticated technological skills. What I particularly like in Tomislav Medak's approach is that all these tools, practices and tricks are filtered through and tested again his own everyday scholarly routine. It would make perfect sense to create a visualization from this inventory in a similar fashion to these workflows.

Introduction by OpenMethods Editor (Erzsébet Tóth-Czifra):  In this post, you can find a thoughtful and encouraging selection and description of reading, writing reference management and publication tools. It guides you through a whole reference management-writing-publishing workflow from the creation of annotated bibliographies in Zotero,  through a useful Markdown syntax cheat sheet  to versioning, storage and backup strategies, and shows how everybody’s research can profit by open digital methods even without sophisticated technological skills. What I particularly like in Tomislav Medak’s approach is that all these tools, practices and tricks are filtered through and tested again his own everyday scholarly routine. It would make perfect sense to create a visualization from this inventory in a similar fashion to these workflows.

This document covers digital tools and workflows that I use in my scholarly work, covering a range of actions from digitisation, annotation, referencing, plaintext authorship, storage and backup, to presentation and web presence. It includes workflows based on ScanTailor, OCR tools, Zotero, Diigo, Hypothesis, Markdown, Atom, Pandoc, Git, Reveal.js, reveal-md and Nikola. The approach builds on practices of shadow librarianship, plain text authorship and autonomy from platforms. While these workflows are particularly useful to scholars, they can be practical for anyone doing a lot of reading and writing.
