My current checklist for finishing an essay:

  • spellcheck (ispell)
  • balanced brackets & quotes check

  • linkchecker for

    1. dead links
    2. inserting into archive queue
  • for academic hyperlinks, include a tooltip with the title & author metadata
  • for any papers cited: either link full text, provide a local full text, or submit a request
  • check readability level (eg. Flesch-Kincaid)
  • probability word checklist
  • do a Pandoc/Firefox preview for visible major formatting problems
  • Markdown lint-checker (shell script checking for common syntax fragments indicating error)

  • arrange for notifications of future results (when relevant, eg. for following dual n-back research):

    1. Google Alerts
    2. Google Scholar Alerts
    3. PubMed alerts
