The UCI Libraries invested in a subscription to Overleaf-Pro nearly a year ago, a platform that promotes collaboration among scholars and scientists allowing colleagues across institutions to share in research, publishing and teaching. Overleaf is a collaborative LaTeX editor, used for writing, editing and publishing scientific documents. It partners with a wide range of scientific publishers to provide official journal LaTeX templates, and includes direct submission links, allowing scholars and scientists to prepare their document by compiling and automatically validating their scholarly transmissions via a managed Application Program Interface (API) in the latest version. Automating these processes in correct and consistent formats and guidelines with a sharable writing tool benefits all users with efficiencies and integrations with ORCID, F1000 and other tools to simplify scientific writing and submission processes. Currently UCI has nearly 4,000 registered Overleaf users. Click here to learn more.
