Using CiteDrive with Curvenote: Quick Guide

Curvenote is a collaborative writing and publishing tool for scientists and researchers, similar to R Markdown and Quarto. It integrates seamlessly with Jupyter Notebooks, allowing users to consolidate their text, code, equations, figures, and references in one place.

This platform streamlines the writing of academic papers by simplifying the inclusion of citations, equations, and figures. It also promotes the reproducibility of research by linking figures directly to the associated Jupyter notebook. This ensures that updates or annotations to a figure in the notebook are reflected throughout the article.

In addition, Curvenote offers a range of professional templates that make it easy to export your work in a variety of formats suitable for journals, preprints, and more. Ultimately, Curvenote improves accessibility and collaboration in academic writing and publishing.
