Software Recommendations

Preparing Documents: LaTeX and Overleaf

If you need to include complex mathematical notation or formula in your paper, consider learning to use LaTeX instead of programs like Word or Google Docs. This free software has been standard in the field of mathematics since the 1980s. 

Overleaf is an online writing tool that incorporates LaTeX, making it easier to access and letting you collaborate with other authors. You can access the professional version of Overleaf through the Library.   

Saving and Citing Sources: Mendeley

You can use Mendeley to save PDFs of sources by research project. Once you build a library of sources in Mendeley, you can connect to your account when writing in Word or Overleaf, and format your references in any citation style you need.

The Library can help you use Menedeley, but we don't have a subscription so you will need to create a free account.
