The National University of Singapore is a winner of the 2017 Campus Challenge! All students and faculty at the university will receive a free 6-month subscription of Overleaf Pro. In order to receive your free Overleaf Pro account, simply click the link below to verify your university email address.
Overleaf is designed to make the process of writing, editing and producing your research papers and project reports much quicker for both you and your collaborators. Overleaf can also be linked to other services such as Mendeley, Git and Plot.ly to best fit into your workflow.
Welcome to your quick start guide to Overleaf. We've put together some useful resources in the sections below, and if you have any questions about how to get started please let us know and we'll be happy to help!
If you'd like to dive straight into the editor, simply click the button to create a new paper using our quick-start template. A short tutorial will walk you through the main features to quickly get you started.
You can find more NUS-related templates, or check out our full template gallery for more ideas and inspiration.
If you're new to LaTeX, we've put together a free online course to help you learn the basics. If you have never used LaTeX before, or if it has been a while and you would like a refresher, this is the place to start.
Overleaf also provides a set of teaching tools. Simply click the button to set up a group on Overleaf for your class. You'll then be able to add students to your group by email address.
Overleaf is an online collaborative writing and publishing tool. It allows you to collaborate online with coauthors and greatly simplifies the process of creating and writing a LaTeX document. Overleaf's custom templates allow authors to submit their papers directly to many journals and repositories via Overleaf, including the arXiv.
If you've already confirmed your NUS email address on Overleaf, you should have automatically been upgraded to Pro. You can check your status in the How to Join section above. If you think you've correctly added your affiliation but haven't been upgraded, please get in touch and we'll look into it for you.
At the end of the free six-months, if National University of Singapore does not wish to continue to provide the institutional account, you may choose to continue as an individual Overleaf Pro subscriber, or your account will revert to the Overleaf Free plan. Any data or papers saved in Overleaf will continue to be accessible.
For more information about the different Overleaf plans, please see this page, and if you have any questions about this please let us know.
