In this sense, this article proposes a research method called blitz literature review, as a way to quickly, transparently, and repeatably consult key references in a particular area of interest, seen as a network composed of elements that are indispensable to such a process. The tutorial consists of six steps explained in detail, easy to follow and reproduce, accompanied by publicly available supplementary material. Finally, the possible implications of this research method are discussed, being brought to the fore a general recommendation regarding the optimization of the citizens’ involvement in the efforts and approaches of open scientific research.

  • KDE 2.0 Development, Which Is Directly Supported
    23 8911 CH18 10/16/00 1:44 PM Page 401 The KDevelop IDE: The CHAPTER Integrated Development Environment for KDE by Ralf Nolden 18 IN THIS CHAPTER • General Issues 402 • Creating KDE 2.0 Applications 409 • Getting Started with the KDE 2.0 API 413 • The Classbrowser and Your Project 416 • The File Viewers—The Windows to Your Project Files 419 • The KDevelop Debugger 421 • KDevelop 2.0—A Preview 425 23 8911 CH18 10/16/00 1:44 PM Page 402 Developer Tools and Support 402 PART IV Although developing applications under UNIX systems can be a lot of fun, until now the pro- grammer was lacking a comfortable environment that takes away the usual standard activities that have to be done over and over in the process of programming. The KDevelop IDE closes this gap and makes it a joy to work within a complete, integrated development environment, combining the use of the GNU standard development tools such as the g++ compiler and the gdb debugger with the advantages of a GUI-based environment that automates all standard actions and allows the developer to concentrate on the work of writing software instead of managing command-line tools. It also offers direct and quick access to source files and docu- mentation. KDevelop primarily aims to provide the best means to rapidly set up and write KDE software; it also supports extended features such as GUI designing and translation in con- junction with other tools available especially for KDE development. The KDevelop IDE itself is published under the GNU Public License (GPL), like KDE, and is therefore publicly avail- able at no cost—including its source code—and it may be used both for free and for commer- cial development.

  • Creating an Accessible PDF File from a Neooffice Text Document
    Creating an Accessible PDF File from a NeoOffice Text Document Opening Welcome to Accessibility in the MLTI, your how-to source for making ed tech accessible for students with disabilities. I'm Cynthia Curry. Introduction Today, it is my pleasure to walk you through the tools and features of a NeoOffice Text document that you will need if you plan to convert it to an accessible PDF file. For a complete and, hopefully, compelling explanation of why accessible PDF is important, please refer to my previous podcast entitled, “Time to Think About the Accessibility of PDF Files.” And for an overview of what makes any word processing file worthy of being converted to accessible PDF, regardless of the program, please refer to my podcast, “The 'Dos and Don'ts’ of Creating Accessible PDF from a Word Processing File.” That podcast will give you the 'in's and 'out's, regardless of your word processor of choice. Tools and Features of NeoOffice Text Documents Other word processing tools that I’ll address in future podcasts include Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac and Pages 08. Today, our focus is NeoOffice Text files. 1. Applying Styles First, recall that the most important part of creating an accessible PDF file from any word processor is to rely on your program's Styles. Applying Styles to your document creates a consistent and predictable format and layout for all users, particularly those who will access your document using assistive technology. To open the Styles and Formatting window in NeoOffice, choose Format from the main menu and then Styles and Formatting.

  • Rkward: a Comprehensive Graphical User Interface and Integrated Development Environment for Statistical Analysis with R
    JSS Journal of Statistical Software June 2012, Volume 49, Issue 9. http://www.jstatsoft.org/ RKWard: A Comprehensive Graphical User Interface and Integrated Development Environment for Statistical Analysis with R Stefan R¨odiger Thomas Friedrichsmeier Charit´e-Universit¨atsmedizin Berlin Ruhr-University Bochum Prasenjit Kapat Meik Michalke The Ohio State University Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf¨ Abstract R is a free open-source implementation of the S statistical computing language and programming environment. The current status of R is a command line driven interface with no advanced cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI), but it includes tools for building such. Over the past years, proprietary and non-proprietary GUI solutions have emerged, based on internal or external tool kits, with different scopes and technological concepts. For example, Rgui.exe and Rgui.app have become the de facto GUI on the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms, respectively, for most users. In this paper we discuss RKWard which aims to be both a comprehensive GUI and an integrated devel- opment environment for R. RKWard is based on the KDE software libraries. Statistical procedures and plots are implemented using an extendable plugin architecture based on ECMAScript (JavaScript), R, and XML. RKWard provides an excellent tool to manage different types of data objects; even allowing for seamless editing of certain types. The objective of RKWard is to provide a portable and extensible R interface for both basic and advanced statistical and graphical analysis, while not compromising on flexibility and modularity of the R programming environment itself. Keywords: GUI, integrated development environment, plugin, R.
