Tools & Collaboration
The common GeoEpi tool ecosystem and its practical roles.
GeoEpi uses several complementary systems. The right tool depends on the work and the collaborators; no single programming language or interface is mandatory.
| Tool | Common GeoEpi role |
|---|---|
| GitHub and the GeoEpi organization | Code, version control, documentation, collaboration, subproject repositories, and the future Lab Hub |
| SCINet, Atlas, and Ceres | Large or controlled data, computation, and HPC |
| OSF | Collaborator-accessible research objects, data sharing, or project resources where appropriate |
| Overleaf and LaTeX | Collaborative manuscripts and technical documents, especially equations and complex scientific formatting |
| Zotero | Shared GeoEpi literature libraries; individuals may use other managers for personal workflows |
| Quarto and GitHub Pages | Reproducible reports, technical documentation, websites, and notebooks |
| R | A commonly used language in GeoEpi workflows and examples, alongside other appropriate tools |
