Inclusive, Future–Focused Scholarship

Writing Scholarly Works  in Plain Text

  • Focus on writing not formatting 
  • Improve the reader experience
  • Write it once and change it as needed with a few keystrokes  
  • Convert it to suit the platform, e.g, doc, pdf, Kendel, HTML, etc. 
  • Combine data analysis and manuscript development into a single process 
  • Fit beautifully plots, graphs, images, diagrams etc.
