Python code to create folders and Word documents for research papers in biomedical sciences — multi function go together with only two inputs
I’m a researcher with over seven years of experience working in public health and epidemiological research. Each time I’m about to begin a brand new research paper, I create a folder for this project, inside multiple folders for every section of my work, and Word documents for the manuscript with specific headings. Having published over 170 peer-review papers, I should have done this process over 200 times. I believe it’s about time to automatize this process, and I’ll share with you methods to achieve this!
