# Writing academic papers in Org-Roam

Org-mode and more so org-roam are making for a fantastic note-taking system
inside Emacs. Combining the note-taking of org-mode, the capability to export
a note to LaTeX and PDF directly, the spectacular org-roam-bibtex package
and the flexibility of the elisp configuration of Emacs, it become possible
to use a org-roam note as the main document for write academic papers, even
when exotic templates are provided.

In this presentation, I want to talk about the way I am using org-roam to write
LaTeX documents, the benefits of it but also the various pitfalls and
difficulties encountered in this journey.

The key benefits being:

-   The integration with other org-roam notes.
-   Bibliography integration and links directly to PDF.
-   Org-mode literate programming capabilities.
-   Direct export to PDF.

The main challenges are:

-   Dealing with strangely formatted LaTeX templates.
-   Related, having to use other LaTeX compilers.
-   These two points can make citation of references, in particular, challenging.

About the speaker:

A PhD student in robotics at
Nanzan University, Japan. I have been using Linux for around 10 years at that
point, eventually moving many of my work and personal stuff to Emacs over the
years, including academic writing.
