Announcing Overleaf for UCF!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Overleaf, a powerful online collaborative writing and publishing tool, now available to our UCF community!

What is Overleaf? Overleaf is an easy-to-use, cloud-based platform designed to make the process of writing, editing, and publishing scientific documents seamless and efficient. It supports LaTeX, a high-quality typesetting system that is particularly well-suited for technical and scientific documentation.

What is LaTeX? LaTeX is a typesetting system that enables the creation of beautifully formatted documents, especially those containing complex mathematical equations, tables, and figures. It is widely used in academia for writing research papers, theses, and proposals.

How Overleaf Can Help You:

• Collaborative Writing: Work together with your co-authors in real-time, no matter where they are located.
• Efficient Document Management: Keep track of changes, versions, and comments all in one place.
• Seamless Integration: Easily integrate with various reference management tools (e.g., EndNote) and repositories.
• Professional Formatting: Produce publication-ready documents with ease, using a wide range of templates and formatting options.
• Publisher’s Templates: Quickly produce manuscripts for different conferences and journals by changing the template.
