Mendeley setup

Mendeley is ….. [descriptions coming soon…..]

A concept …

I have now, after what seems like a lifetime, found a nice conceptial way of capturing pdf files and other resources when searching for literature. The software and tools I use are open-source and reproducible. This also means that the cost is overall very low and many of the aspects of science achievable without large cororation software such as windows, mac and other lisenced software.

[Manual coming soon….]

Tools, software, hardware, its a lot to take in but dont try and separate them anymore (cite cloud status of the world).

• learning new tools (how to learn how to do things in R)

Tips and tricks

Video recording of walkthough

Local vs remote folders and files

Organisation is key….

## Local vs remote

Downloads needed

These are the bits that help me once I got my head around the underlying concepts:

Hardware

Windows and mac so far. The linux learning curve is coming for me soon I think but I have not worked extensively in lunix yet.

Software

These are the extensions or almost shorthand names for the applications and uses we are applying using the software. In an opensource enviroment there are alot of tools but only a few decent Software frameworks to achieve these tasks in the optonial manner (for the computer or the human as it turns out). I just think of these as the actual programs or files you have to add to your local/personal operating system to make the code or program you want to work (before packages for specific projects are added).

R

R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.
