\title{Academic Software Tools}

Software started in university aisles and, as such, a lot of software
today is academic software. Software programs make researchers' work
more efficient and competitive. Here are the five best software tools
that can help academics especially in their data-based and authoring
practices. Note that all these tools integrate with Authorea - the
collaborative word processor for academics.

\subsection*{1. Github}

{\label{197471}}

Fourteen million software developers use Github to collaborate and
maintain code repositories. Although originally designed for
professional developers, Github has now
\href{https://education.github.com/}{expanded to the classroom}.
Authorea is
also~\href{https://www.authorea.com/users/8850/articles/164546-bringing-the-power-of-latex-and-git-to-all-researchers}{based
on git}, so integration between the two platforms is as easy as clicking
a button. ~This feature allows researchers to work offline and provides
access to version controls via Github.~\textbf{Read more about Authorea

articles to GitHub}}

\subsection*{2. Plotly}

{\label{134155}}

Academics and researchers use Plotly to analyze and to visualize plots
and graphs. Plotly generates graphs in a variety of formats. Many of
these also have interactive online capabilities. Authorea
\href{https://www.authorea.com/users/3788/articles/3888-research-collaboration-in-the-cloud-plotly-and-authorea/_show_article}{integrated
with Plotly}~so researchers can create and access interactive graphs.

\par\null\par\null

\subsection*{3. Jupyter Notebooks (IPython
notebooks)}

{\label{625578}}

Jupyter is a virtual lab environment that contains mathematics, plots,
rich media, text, and code. Instructors across academia use Jupyter to
conduct research and easily inspect rerun analyses. Authorea is
\href{https://www.authorea.com/users/9932/articles/11070-how-to-insert-ipython}{integrated
with Jupyter notebooks}~so that collaborators can create data-rich
manuscripts.~

\par\null\par\null

\subsection*{4. Authorea}

{\label{826452}}

Authorea itself is one of the best tools to write academic papers in
collaboration. You may think of it as a Google Docs for academia. Google
Docs is the most widely used collaborative editor in the world. Despite
its prevalence, it lacks many features for citation management, math,
LaTeX, and version control. Authorea makes it easy to import any Google
Doc directly into Authorea by simply copying and pasting the URL of the
document you wish to import.~

\subsection*{5. Grammarly}

{\label{463975}}

Grammarly is a plugin used by millions of students and researchers
around the world. It works with online document editors, like Authorea,
to offer advanced grammar and spell checking. You can use Grammarly with
Authorea by following

instructions}.
