emailReport

This repo contains a technical report on a online based survey on email use. The survey was developed as part of the course "Empirische Bewertung in der Informatik" at the Institute of Computer Science.

Report Template

We use the template provided by the course instructors.

Prerequisites

You want to have the following things installed in order to use this template:

• A LaTeX backend (e.g. TeX Live or MikTeX)
• A comfortable text editor (e.g. Notepad++), a LaTeX frontend (e.g. TeXstudio), or an R frontend (e.g. RStudio)
• A BibTeX manager (e.g. JabRef)
• R with the knitr library installed.

HowTo

To create a PDF file manually (i.e. if you don't use a LaTeX frontend), you need to call:

• cd report
• Rscript -e "library(knitr); knit('report_de.Rnw')"
• pdflatex report_de.tex
• bibtex report_de.aux
• pdflatex report_de.tex
• pdflatex report_de.tex

Attention: There are problems with BibTeX if you are using RStudio. It seems not work from within RStudio so you need to resort to the manual file creation.

Good to know

The two templates both use the same document class agse-empir-report which comes with a few tweaks (all of which are also demonstrated in the default template content):

• The new commands \authorName{} and \authorMail{} to format the author information.
• The commands \section{} and \subsection{} are altered and have an optional parameter to indicate the author of the corresponding text part.
• Exmples of inline R code with \Sexpr{} and regular knitr blocks (<<>>= ... @) with both tables and plots.
