How to use Publishing Studio

One source file, several publication-ready outputs

Write prose, maths, tables and code in a single Quarto-style source, resolve [@citekey] citations against your BibTeX, and export HTML, Word, Markdown, PDF or the .qmd itself.

Before you start

  • A signed-in SciExpert account

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Publishing Studio

    From the workspace sidebar choose Publishing Studio. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Publishing Studio.

  2. 2

    Set up your inputs

    Write prose, maths, tables and code in a single Quarto-style source, resolve [@citekey] citations against your BibTeX, and export HTML, Word, Markdown, PDF or the .qmd itself. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.

  3. 3

    Run it

    Run the tool and check the first output: quarto-compatible .qmd source with yaml front matter.

  4. 4

    Review what came back

    Work through the results: pandoc-style [@citekey] citations and a generated reference list; javascript chunks run in your browser; python, r and julia stay verbatim; export html, word, markdown, print-ready pdf or the .qmd.

  5. 5

    Save or export

    Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.

Tips

  • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
  • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.

Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I run it

Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.

The output is not what I expected

Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
