Research Outputs

Among many others, here are some of the outputs created by researchers:

Research Papers, Books, or Reports

Research Presentations (Conference or other Stakeholders)

Personal, Project, or Conference Websites

However, we are spending far too much time working on the content AND on the design of our communications.

Research Outputs

Dealing with many journal publication styles in Microsoft Word

Fighting with alignments in Microsoft PowerPoint

Struggling with web design in WordPress

Images generated by ChatGPT-5 using my profile picture

What is Quarto?

Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system that builds on standard markdown with features essential for scientific communication.

In simple terms

It is command-line software that creates slick and polished documents.

It uses plain text but can output PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or HTML files from a single source.

It plugs into most coding editors like VS Code, Jupyter, RStudio and more but code is not necessary to make it work.

How does it Work?

## Abstract 

My presentation will focus on **how Quarto 
facilitates transparent workflows and shareable 
outputs**. The key impact highlighted will be enhanced 
research *reproducibility*, broader *dissemination*, and 
increased *verifiability*, thereby expanding the reach 
and trustworthiness of scholarly work [@dupre2025open].

## Research Overview

This communication **will showcase how open research 
practices are embedded in my work**, which spans psychology, 
focusing on AI-driven emotion recognition from physiological
and facial cues, and data science support for Business School
projects in Economics, Accounting, and Public Policy.
