Overleaf: Cloud-based Collaborative Writing Platform

FSU faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students now have access to Overleaf Professional through a new university institutional license.

Overleaf is an online collaborative writing and publishing platform widely used for LaTeX-based research papers, theses, dissertations, technical documents, and other scholarly work. The FSU license provides eligible users with Overleaf Professional features, including real-time collaboration, full project history, track changes, advanced reference tools, and additional integrations.

This service was made possible through the support of the College of Arts and Sciences, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, University Libraries, the Office of Research, and Information Technology Services.

About Overleaf

Overleaf is a cloud-based collaborative writing platform designed for LaTeX, the standard document preparation system used in many STEM disciplines. It enables researchers, faculty, and graduate students to write, edit, and collaborate on technical documents, journal articles, grant proposals, theses, and dissertations in real time without installing software.

Background

Previously, Overleaf access at FSU was limited to a small pool of licenses managed by the Libraries and the Office of Research. Due to growing demand across campus, the Libraries partnered with the Office of Research, ITS, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Engineering to fund a new campus-wide site license. Beginning this summer, all FSU faculty and graduate students will have access to Overleaf via single sign-on (SSO) using their FSU credentials, significantly expanding access to a tool widely used for research and scholarly collaboration.

To get started, visit the FSU Overleaf portal and sign in with your FSU credentials:
