Poor experimental task

Posted by rschuetzler on 05 Jan 2015 at 16:43 GMT

I've written a critique of the article on my own website. My main issue with this article is the experimental task. Setting up documents is such a small portion of the time required to write a document, but when you make it the focus of your research, you definitely put LaTeX at a disadvantage. Mimicking formatting is more difficult in LaTeX than in Word. That is all this article has shown, and that is all the authors can claim.
