Overleaf, an academic authorship tool, has announced that Springer will integrate 20 Springer journals and the Springer Transfer Desk with the Overleaf online LaTeX and rich text collaborative writing and publishing platform.
Overleaf, a cloud-based scientific authoring platform, will make it easy for researchers to write, collaborate, and publish technical documents, with the provision of a simplified writing and publishing tool for Springer authors.
These 20 Springer journals, which include Climate Dynamics, Transport in Porous Media, and Environmental and Resource Economics (full list to follow) will each offer simplified, 1-click submission links from the Overleaf platform directly into the Springer submission system via the Aries, Editorial Manager ingest service.
Each journal will provide an online link from the journal website to the Springer article template within the Overleaf platform. This will provide authors with a fast, simple way to collaborate and write their articles, with no manual setup required. Overleaf 'TeXperts' are also on hand to help with any questions the authors have while writing their papers. With real-time, automated composition, the author can see what the finished file will look like - as they write.
Once the manuscript is complete, the author will be able to submit the file for publication with 1-click. The file and necessary metadata will automatically transfer to the Springer submission system via the Aries, Editorial Manager ingest service – significantly simplifying the submission process.
The full list of 20 journals taking part in this initial set up will be announced later in October.
