It handles all of the typesetting for you. You just have to learn all of its codes, syntax, and idiosyncrasies. It works for collaborative document preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s open source&#8211; you can grab <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/overleaf\/overleaf\">the Overleaf repository on GitHub<\/a>. It&#8217;s also available as SaaS. Just the person starting the project has to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why use it instead of Word, Google Docs, or something else? Maybe you have a good reason. Maybe you&#8217;re just interested in experiencing a new set of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself trying to prepare a bibliography in Overleaf, you&#8217;ll want to get used to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/BibTeX\">BibTeX<\/a>. There&#8217;ll be a .bib file that goes with your project for citations. You&#8217;ll cut-and-paste BibTeX entries for each article you want to cite. You can get citations in BibTeX format from Google Scholar like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"510\" src=\"http:\/\/labrigger.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/t2.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4988\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re working from <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/\">PubMed<\/a>, cut-and-paste the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.org\/\">DOI<\/a> into Google Scholar to get the BibTeX. Your favorite citation manager can probably output your library as a BibTeX file too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each BibTeX entry has a cute nickname at the beginning. The example in the GIF above starts with &#8220;@article{niell2010modulation&#8221; Use &#8220;niell2008modulation&#8221; to cite it.  Like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">\\cite{niell2010modulation}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overleaf.com\/learn\/how-to\/Using_bibliographies_on_Overleaf\">More details at Overleaf&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overleaf.com\/\">Overleaf<\/a> is an online editor for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/LaTeX\">LaTeX<\/a>.
