Has anyone ever written a research paper by only using org-mode?
reddit / emacs

I’m a fan of org-mode but I feel I can’t have full control of Latex
document (like import latex template) as when I work with Overleaf. It
could be great if you guys can share your org-mode config file. Thanks
in advance!

Try the `auctex` package (built in) for total control of LaTeX without
leaving the comfort of emacs.  It is magical.

I recommend using a regular latex file, with `outline-minor-mode` to
collapse stuff.

What org feature do you think will be useful for writing such a
document?

Check out the `org-ref` package. Easy references, labels, refs etc.

This article is quite comprehensive:

I once wrote a demo-paper in 2012 for a conference, demoing the
ability of Org-mode to generate a paper from the raw CSV data to the
final ACM-compatible whitepaper in one go:

Tech-wise, this was not maintained and thus probably may not work 100%
as back then. It lacks org-ref which we got only recently. However, it
proves the point.

No, I use AUCTex. I want to see the source I'm working on and have
complete control over it, no need for another layer. I do use org to
create (beamer) slides though, it's a different and simpler problem.

Yes. It’s not a problem (it’s also easy to write papers in markdown
using markdown mode). If you want to see some of the packages involved
look at my setup-writing.el, setup-org, and setup-citation files in
[my config](https://github.com/mclear-tools/dotemacs).

Check [The Kitchin Research Group
page](https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2014/08/08/What-we-are-
using-org-mode-for/) for books, scientific papers, blog pages, etc.
written in org-mode. Also,
[scimax](https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax) is a very good clone for
academic usage of org-mode.
