Open science resources

I developed proposal and thesis templates that are 1. useable directly as Quarto a extension, 2. provide brief explanation of the expected content of each section, and 3. generate pdf documents appropriately formatted for uOttawa requirements (at least biology)

  • bio-uo-proposal quarto extension providing 1 new pdf output format (bio-uo-proposal-pdf). I am working on a docx version but tweaking the frontpage is tricky with word document.

  • bio-uo-thesis: quarto extension providing two new output formats for book projects: an html (bio-uo-thesis-html) and a pdf (bio-uo-thesis-pdf) generating a website (to be hosted on github pages or similar) and a pdf of the thesis adequately formatted for uOttawa (at least biology)

  • bio-uo-stat: quarto extension to render your Bio8940 final report as a nicely formatted PDF
