Are you tired of wasting precious time converting your research documents into public websites and presentations? Have you ever needed to change the format of your writing to fit a journal or to meet publisher’s requirements? Do you wish there was some way to repurpose your writing and research for presentations, websites, and other platforms without copying and pasting for hours? If so, Markdown and Quarto might be just the solution you need!

This workshop is designed to introduce researchers to digital writing and publishing with the flexible tools of Markdown and Quarto. Participants in this hands-on session will cover the fundamentals of Markdown, a lightweight markup language that allows users to write, structure, and reuse their writing and research. We will then introduce Quarto, a powerful publishing system which can transform Markdown documents into academic publications, websites, presentations, and more. The workshop will show how citation management systems such as Zotero can be integrated with Quarto, and how tools like VS Code and Jupyter notebooks can be used to create an efficient, reproducible, and versatile academic publishing pipeline.

No technical experience is required or assumed.
