This week, Overleaf published a guest post from Mind the Graph. Our CEO Fabricio Pamplona wrote about the integration of these two platforms!
You know how long it takes to finish writing a paper, right? Well, what if you could have a platform in which all authors could write together and configure the text the way they want? That is what Overleaf does. Overleaf is a collaborative writing and publishing system that makes the whole process of producing academic papers much quicker.
In addition, Overleaf is partner with Oxford University Press, F1000 Research and IEEE’s free Collabratec. All that to speed up the process of publishing scientific papers.
The idea behind Overleaf complements perfectly Mind the Graph’s goal to untangle science through visual and creative links. Each platform is focus on distinc parts of scientific publishings and, when integrated, improves communication in science. For this reason, we are now working together and helping our users to match both platforms.
