The Royal Astronomical Society Partners with Overleaf

Today our portfolio company Overleaf announced a new partnership with the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), a learned society that encourages and promotes the study of astronomy, solar-system science and closely related branches of science, and a publisher of international research journals.

This partnership will provide an authoring template and simplified submission link for Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the RAS.

Authors submitting to MNRAS will have access to a custom MNRAS authoring template within the Overleaf platform. Authors will be able to quickly and easily open the MNRAS authoring template in the Overleaf platform, write articles in the correct journal format, collaborate on those articles with colleagues, and then easily submit via a 1-click submission link into the MNRAS ScholarOne submission system.

Kim Clube, Editorial Office Manager at the RAS said: 

“It’s exciting to work with Overleaf to provide our authors with this innovative, faster and simpler LaTeX writing, reviewing and submission tool. We’re confident that this will prove to be a popular service for our authors, significantly improving the process of collaborative authorship and streamlining submission to MNRAS.”
