'I'm a PhD student in chemistry. For outline, I usually use the traditional method, a pen and a piece of paper is enough.'
CARRIE WHITING (PSEUDONYM)
'I'm a university professor. Of course, in addition to teaching, writing papers and doing research is my daily routine. I have not considered the interface style of the paper editing software, as long as it is fully functional.'
