We’re excited to announce that the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is providing free Overleaf Pro accounts for all students, faculty, researchers and staff who would like to use a collaborative, online LaTeX editor for their projects!

"In Word it’s really easy to leave comments, make track changes, etc, but it doesn’t scale – if working with 10 people you end up with a massive chain of emails.

LaTeX is a more comprehensive tool, but it’s too hard for non-comp scientists – if you don’t know git, track changes is hard, etc. Overleaf provides a nice balance."

– Matteo De Felice

A recent blog post from Language Science Press on their LaTeX-based workflow caught our eye towards the end of last year, as they talked about how they were using Overleaf as an integral part of this process.

We followed up with their coordinator Sebastian Nordhoff to find out more, and here's what he had to say...

Congratulations and thanks to Dr. Arindam Basu and the Research Committee of the College of Education, Health, and Human Development CoEHHD for organizing an interactive Overleaf overview presentation at the University of Canterbury at Christchurch in New Zealand.

As a champion of collaborative research, Arin’s aim for this workshop was to introduce and encourage the use of Overleaf as a collaborative writing tool among students and academic faculty members. In addition, Arin is creating some basic tutorials that will be available soon in Overleaf’s help section of the website. We value Arin’s continued use, support, and promotion of Overleaf.

As a result, Overleaf is delighted to name Arin Basu as Advisor of the Month for November, 2015. Thank you Arin!

Ashley Craig is a first year graduate student in Economics at Harvard University and is using Overleaf to support his international collaboration with a fellow researcher based in Sydney.
