Emacs as a Tool for Modern Science : The use of open source tools to improve scientific workflows
It is human nature to prefer additive problem solving even if removal may be the more efficient solution. This heuristic has wide ranging implications when dealing with science, innovation and complex problem solving. This is compounded when dealing with these issues at an institutional
level. Additive solutions to workflows with extra software tools and proprietary digital solutions can impede work without offering any advantages in terms of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) data principles or productivity. This viewpoint highlights one possible workflow
and the mentality underpinning it with an aim to incorporate FAIR data, improved productivity and longevity of written documents while improving workloads within industrial research and development (R&D).
