8. Latex
• Designed by academics and easily accommodates academic
use.
• Professionally crafted predefined layouts make a document
really look as if “printed.”
• Mathematical symbols and equations are easily integrated.
• Even complex structures such as footnotes, references,
table of contents, and bibliographies can be generated
easily.
• Forces author to focus on logical instead of aesthetic
structure of a document.
• Creates more beautiful documents.
• Portable, compatible, flexible, versatile, and cheap (or free)!
16. Reference management

• Manage PDFs
• Take searchable notes
• format bibliographies and in-text citations in hundreds
of citations styles
• share references and collaborate on projects with
