Analysis and configuration file sections complete
With this commit a description of these two important parts have been added to the project, along with several figures showing various parts of the files that are discussed. I also done some other restructuring of the figures and files to make things fit better into the the description of the paper.

Figures, plots, tables and narrative aren't the only analysis output that goes into the paper.
In many cases, quantitative values from the analysis are also blended into the sentences of the report's narration.

Given the evolution of a scientific projects, this type of human error is very hard to avoid when such values are manually written.
Such values must also be automatically generated.
To automatically generate and blend them in the text, we use \LaTeX{} macros.

However, managing all the necessary \LaTeX{} macros for a full project in one file is against the modularity principle and can be frustrating and buggy.

However, the analysis phase involves much more complexity.

+As shown in Figure \ref{fig:formatsrc}, the first operation (or Make \emph{rule}) is to define a directory to keep the generated files.
To keep the source and build-directories separate, we thus define \inlinecode{a1dir} under the build-directory (\inlinecode{BDIR}, see Section \ref{sec:localdirs}).
We'll then define all outputs/targets to be under this directory.
The second rule (which depends on the directory as a prerequisite), then converts the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file to a simple plain-text format using the XLSX I/O program.
But XLSX I/O only converts to CSV and we don't need all the columns here, so we further shorten and modify the table (re-order columns and multiply them) using the AWK program (which is available on any Unix-like operating system).

-Therefore, while this Makefile can work when run alone, on many systems it won't complete successfuly because of these major portability problems.

+The operation of reproducing that figure is a contextually separate operation from the operations that were described above in \inlinecode{format.mk}.
+Therfore we add a new subMakefile to the project called \inlinecode{demo-plot.mk}, which is shown in Figure \ref{fig:demoplotsrc}.
+As before, in the first rule, we make the directory to host the data (\inlinecode{a2dir}).
+However, unlike before, this directory is placed under \inlinecode{texdir} which is the directory hosting all \LaTeX{} related files.
+This is because the plot of Figure \ref{fig:toolsperyear} is directly made within \LaTeX{}, using its PGFPlots package\footnote{PGFPLots package of \LaTeX: \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/pgfplots}.
+ \inlinecode{texdir} has some special features when using \LaTeX{}, see Section \ref{sec:buildingpaper}.
+ PGFPlots uses the same graphics engine that is building the paper, producing a highquality figure that blends nicely in the paper.}.
+Note that this is just our personal choice, other methods of generating plots (for example with R, Gnuplot or Matplotlib) are also possible within this system, see Section \ref{sec:buildingpaper}.
+
+The plain-text table that is used to build Figure \ref{fig:toolsperyear} is defined as the variable \inlinecode{a2mk20f1c} of Figure \ref{fig:demoplotsrc} (just above the second rule).
+As shown in the second rule, again we use GNU AWK to extract the necessary information from \inlinecode{mk20tab3} (which was built in \inlinecode{format.mk}).
+\inlinecode{mk20tab3} is thus the \emph{prerequisite} of \inlinecode{a2mk20f1c} (along with \inlinecode{a2dir}).
+In Figure \ref{fig:datalineage}, this lineage is shown as the arrow from \inlinecode{menke20-table-3.txt} (file name of \inlinecode{mk20tab3}) that points to \inlinecode{tools-per-year.txt} (file name of \inlinecode{a2mk20f1c}).
+
+As with all subMakefiles, \inlinecode{demo-plot.mk} finishes with the rule to build its \LaTeX{} macro file (\inlinecode{demo-plot.tex}) containing the values reported above.
+But here, it doesn't just depend on \inlinecode{a2mk20f1c}, it also depends on the \inlinecode{menke-demo-year.conf} configuration file.
+This is also visible in the data lineage (Figure \ref{fig:datalineage}): two arrows point to \inlinecode{demo-plot.tex}, one from a configuration file, and one from a built file.
+Configuration files are discussed in more detain in Section \ref{sec:configfiles}.

+\end{figure}
+In a similar manner many more subMakefiles can be added in more complex analysis scenarios.
+This is shown with the lower opacity files and dashed arrows of the data lineage in Figure \ref{fig:datalineage}.
+Generally, the files created within one subMakefile don't necessarily have to be a prerequisite of its \LaTeX{} macro.
+For example see \inlinecode{demo-out.dat} in Figure \ref{fig:datalineage}: it is managed in \inlinecode{demo-plot.mk}, however, it isn't a prerequisite of \inlinecode{demo-plot.tex}, it is a prerequisite of \inlinecode{out-3b.dat} (which is managed in \inlinecode{another-step.mk} and is a prerequisite of \inlinecode{another-step.tex}).
+Hence ultimately, through another file, it's decendants conclude in a \LaTeX{} macro.
+The high-level \inlinecode{top-make.mk} file is designed to simplify the addition of new subMakefiles for the authors, and reading the source for readers (see Section \ref{sec:highlevelanalysis}).
+As mentioned before, this high-level Makefile just defines the ultimate target (\inlinecode{paper.pdf}, see Section \ref{sec:paperpdf}) and imports all the subMakefiles in the specific order.
+For example Figure \ref{fig:topmake} shows this project's \inlinecode{top-make.mk}.
+When descriptive names are chosen for the subMakefiles, a simple glance over the values to \inlinecode{makesrc} here provides a general understanding of the project without needing to get into the technical details.

+\label{sec:configfiles}
+
+The analysis subMakefiles discussed above in Section \ref{sec:analysis} should only contain the organization of an analysis, they should not contains any fixed numbers, settings or parameters.
+Such elements should only be used as variables that are defined elsewhere.
+In the data lineage plot of Figure \ref{fig:datalineage}, configuration files are shown as the sharp-edged, green \inlinecode{*.conf} files in the top row.
+
+The last recipe of Figure \ref{fig:demoplotsrc} is a good demonstration of their usage: in Section \ref{sec:analysis}, we reported the number of papers studied by \citet{menke20} in \menkenumpapersdemoyear.
+However, note that in Figure \ref{fig:demoplotsrc}, the year's number is not written by hand in the subMakefile.
+It is referenced through the \inlinecode{menke-year-demo} variable, which is defined in \inlinecode{menke-demo-year.conf}, that is a prerequisite of the \inlinecode{demo-plot.tex} rule.
+This is also visible in the data lineage of Figure \ref{fig:demoplotsrc}.
+
+All the configuration files of a project are placed under the \inlinecode{reproduce/analysis/config} (see Figure \ref{fig:files}) subdirectory, and are loaded into \inlinecode{top-make.mk} before any of the subMakefiles, see Figure \ref{fig:topmake}.
+The configuration files greatly simplify project management from multiple perspectives as listed below:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If an analysis parameter is used in multiple places within the project, simply changing the value in the configuration file will change it everywhere in the project.
+ This is cirtical in more complex projects and if not done like this can lead to significant human error.
+\item Configuration files enable the logical separation between the low-level implementation and high-level running of a project.
+ For example after writing the project, the authors don't need to remember where the number/parameter was used, they can just modify the configuration file.
+ Other co-authors, or readers, of the project also benefit: they just need to know that there is a unified place for high-level project settings, parameters, or numbers without necessarily having to know the low-level implementation.
+\item A configuration file will be a prerequisite to any rule that uses it's value.
+ If the configuration file is updated (the value/parameter is changed), Make will automatically detect the data lineage branch that is affected by it and re-execute only that branch, without any human interference.
+\end{itemize}
+This is a great leap compared the current, mostly manual, project management that many scientists employ.
+Manual management is prone to serious human error factors: at the later phases of a project, scientists are least likely to experiment on their project's configurations.
+However, the later phases of a project are precisely the times where the lower-level parts of the project are complete and the authors can look at the bigger picture.
+This style of managing project parameters therefore produces a much more healthy scientific result where experimentation is very cheap during all phases of a project; before its publication (by the authors) and after it (by the authors and readers).

+\subsubsection{The validation}
+\label{sec:thevalidation}
+
+\subsubsection{Building the paper}
+\label{sec:buildingpaper}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Discuss the importance of putting the \LaTeX{} related files in \inlinecode{texdir}. Especially how \inlinecode{tex/build} points to it.
+\item Discuss how easy it is to built graphics outside of \LaTeX{}.
+\end{itemize}
