Universidad de Murcia on Overleaf
Overview
La Universidad de Murcia ha incorporado la plataforma Overleaf, un entorno en línea colaborativo para la redacción, edición y publicación de documentos científicos y técnicos en LaTeX.
Esta iniciativa tiene como objetivo facilitar el trabajo académico y de investigación, promoviendo la creación de documentos de alta calidad tipográfica en un entorno accesible, moderno y colaborativo.
Entre las principales características de Overleaf destacan:
- Edición colaborativa en tiempo real: varios usuarios pueden trabajar simultáneamente sobre el mismo documento, con control de versiones y comentarios integrados.
- No requiere instalación: la plataforma se ejecuta completamente en la nube, accesible desde cualquier navegador y dispositivo.
- Amplia biblioteca de plantillas: incluye modelos prediseñados para artículos científicos, informes técnicos, presentaciones Beamer, tesis doctorales y publicaciones de revistas académicas.
- Integración con Git, Zotero y Mendeley: permite sincronizar repositorios y gestionar referencias bibliográficas de forma eficiente.
- Compilación automática de LaTeX: la vista previa se actualiza de forma instantánea con cada cambio realizado.
- Control de versiones y exportación flexible: posibilidad de descargar el proyecto en formato .zip, .pdf o integrarlo con repositorios académicos.
Beneficios para la comunidad universitaria:
- Acceso institucional: todos los miembros del personal docente, personal investigador y personal técnico, de administración y servicios de la Universidad de Murcia, pueden acceder a Overleaf mediante sus credenciales corporativas, sin necesidad de crear cuentas personales externas.
- Apoyo a la docencia: facilita la preparación de materiales docentes, apuntes, guías y exámenes en formato LaTeX de manera profesional.
- Impulso a la investigación: ideal para la redacción colaborativa de artículos, proyectos, tesis y documentos técnicos, con un flujo de trabajo reproducible y organizado.
- Trabajo en equipo y supervisión: los equipos de investigación y tutores pueden comentar, revisar y editar los documentos directamente en la plataforma.

Quick Start
Welcome to the quick start guide to Overleaf. We've put together some useful resources and links 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!
For Researchers
Find a journal template
Through our partnerships within the publishing community, we provide a selection of academic journal templates for articles and papers. These templates automatically format your manuscripts in the style required for submission to that journal.
Edit in Visual Editor mode or directly in LaTeX
Overleaf provides an intuitive and easy-to-use manuscript editor (our Visual Editor mode), which is especially useful if you or your co-authors aren't familiar with writing in LaTeX.
If you prefer to edit directly in LaTeX, you can! Overleaf provides a full collaborative online LaTeX editor you can switch to at any time.
Submitting your articles to journals, repositories and more
You can also submit your paper directly to a number of journals and other editorial and review services via the publish menu in the editor. Simply open the publish menu from any document and follow the appropriate 'Submit to ...' link.
For Teachers
Introducing students to LaTeX
Overleaf has several on-demand webinars available that address a variety of beginner, intermediate, and advanced topics.
Help students understand LaTeX errors
Addressing errors as they happen helps ensure that your LaTeX project continues to compile and look the way it should.
Show your class how to turn on track changes for review
Overleaf offers an impressive collection of collaboration features, and your institutional subscription provides all users with access to the powerful track changes feature.
Featured LaTeX Templates

This is a basic journal article template which includes metadata fields for multiple authors, affiliations and keywords. It is also set up to use the lineno package for line numbers; these can be turned on by adding the 'lineno' option to the documentclass command.

Know the LaTeX command you want to use but can't remember how to write it? Here we present a great tips sheet produced by Dave Richeson; it's pre-loaded in Overleaf so you can see how the commands work instantly. Simply click on the button above to open a version in Overleaf for editing (and to quickly copy and paste the commands you need!). For more comments visit this page on Dave's site, or if you'd like to work through a fuller introduction to LaTeX why not check out our free online course?

Metropolis is originally created by Matthias Vogelgesang and is available from https://github.com/matze/mtheme as well as CTAN. More information about the theme, including the design principles, can be found at http://bloerg.net/2014/09/20/a-modern-beamer-theme.html. This version demonstrates the use of a progress bar under the frame titles. See the manual for other customisation options.

Edward Tufte is a pioneer in the field of data visualization, and his works inspired the creation of two LaTeX classes for books and handouts. Here we present the excellent sample book produced by the The Tufte-LaTeX Developers pre-loaded into Overleaf (formerly writeLaTeX) for you to use as a starting point for your own work. Simply click the button above to use Overleaf to create and edit your article - there's nothing to install and no sign up required. When you're finished, use our integrated publish to figshare option to publish your work freely online. Click here if you'd like to try the corresponding Tufte handout design on Overleaf. PS: If you're new to LaTeX, our free online LaTeX course covers all the steps you need to get you started.
