🛠 What does an end-to-end open-source stack look like for an independent hydrogeochemical monograph?
Doing full-cycle research—from thermodynamic calculations to print-ready LaTeX typesetting—requires a synchronized toolkit. Here is the exact stack:
🧪 Thermodynamics & Analytics:
• #PHREEQC 3.7.3 for aqueous speciation&equilibrium modeling.
• #Rstats Stack: RedModRphree, ggtern, sf/terra, tidyverse (ETL).
🗺 GIS & Literature Search:
• #QGIS for spatial alignment & cartography.
• #Recoll for local full-text search across reference databases.
📚 Typesetting & Reproducibility:
• #LaTeX2e + #TeXStudio + #JabRef for typography & #BibTeX references.
• xtable for automated R-to-LaTeX data exporting.
• #Debian Linux as a main engine.
💡 Takeaway: Zero proprietary software licenses needed. Complete reproducibility from raw analytical data to a print-ready PDF.
