Haha I just started doing this for my analyses, so one step at a time
Still haven’t found a straightforward solution for using Git for papers with lots of co-authors who don’t use Git, however...

I have had very short "classes" with some fellow lab members and coauthors. But they all seem to want to use LaTeX. I offer to do all the formatting which I'm sure helps. I think maybe it's "cool" (which I find hilarious as it's def not when I have to write a for loop in LaTeX)?
-
Ha OK. I guess that if you take the formatting off in charge that makes the whole thing more appealing.

You can't realistically ask people to change their workflow without doing something in return! Basic psychology LMAO!

Yes it make sense but your workload must go through the roof, no? Though this is definitely a good way to become a latex wizard / enchantress.

I think it depends. I mean if they can start off just writing plain text in .tex files and then compiling them (say on
@overleaf) it's not a small step (esp. for scientists) to actually start learning on their own. -
And I mean really small deal if I have to show them how to do \citep[see:][]{Guest2017} (assuming natbib and APA style here) instead of whatever they have tried right?
-
I think that knowing that they can turn to someone for help to learn might be additional incentive. Esp that it can feel like a big step on your own but much less so when there is a person to demystify it and explain things in plain English.
