Graduate School offering free trial of scientific writing and publishing tool

The Purdue Graduate School is sponsoring a free trial of Overleaf, an online collaborative scientific writing and publishing tool for all students, faculty and staff.

Overleaf is a LaTex/Rich Text editor designed to make the process of writing, editing and producing scientific papers much quicker for both the authors and the publishers. It offers real-time collaboration in one's browser with other authorized users. Users can be added or removed at any time. It also has integrated, streamlined publishing, which allows writers to publish immediately and directly to a specific journal. Overleaf users include dozens of publishing partners, with more to come in 2016.

Also included is a Purdue resource portal that includes Purdue templates, frequently asked questions and resource links.

Interested persons can sign up for free using an email address at Purdue, IUPUI, Purdue North Central, Purdue Calumet or IPFW.
