Zotero

Zotero is a personal research assistant that helps researchers to collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research in an easy, free and helpful way. Zotero is particularly useful for collaboration because it enables groups to collaborate remotely with project members, set up web-based bibliographies, share work or sources discovered, and so much more.

We have shared bibliographies on Zotero and we have a closed bibliography repository with BibLatex files on Github for the material that refer to in open science, open policy analysis, data science, and each other’s work. The best place to share readings and bibliographies is Zotero, for preparing publications on the Github account.

To install Zotero, go to https://www.zotero.org/download/ and download the program. Install and run it on your computer.

Register also an account. Click on Log In CTA on the top right corner of Zotero website, and on the Login page, select the “Register for a free account” option. Follow the instructions. After validation of your e-mail, your Zotero account is ready. Using the “Set up syncing option” offered by the desktop app, link the Zotero account to the app.

After accepting invitations, you will see something similar:

Very good, the way this will work is as follows.
In your own fork, place all media assets by extension to the following folders:
JPEG files into the jpg/ folder
PNG files intot the png/ folder.

as for the text, you should copy+paste it to the
11-collaboration.Rmd fille
under the #Zotero, i.e. the last heading.

This is an Rmd file, meaning that it holds 'chunks' to run simple code. The following code

knitr::include_graphics(file.path("png", "zotero_openin_screen.png"))

will create the appropriate markdown/html/tex command to place the file named "zotero_openin_screen.png into the text from the png/ folder. If you have a jpg file, just change the folder and file extension.

If you have bookdown installed in your R studio (`install.packages("bookdown")) you can also see the new book, but maybe I'l show it on a shared screen.

When you have the two images and th modified 11-collaboration.Rmd in place in your computer, 'push' it up with the green upward arrow to the 'borid/curators' fork, then send a fork request to dataobservatory/curators <- boid/curators, and your contriubution will be part of our main text.
