Simplifying Submission Processes: Overleaf Partners with American Geophysical Union

Our portfolio company Overleaf have announced a new partnership with the American Geophysical Union (AGU), a nonprofit, professional organization for Earth and space scientists representing more than 60,000 members.

AGU publishes 20 peer-reviewed scientific journals covering research in the Earth and space sciences. Authors of the Geophysical Research Letters, the Journal of Geophysical Research (JPR): Space Physics, and JGR: Atmospheres are now able to write and collaborate using a template that allows them to select the specific journal in which they would like to submit. The finished manuscripts created within the Overleaf platform can then be submitted directly to the AGU eJP submission system – transferring necessary files and metadata automatically. This will simplify the submission process for AGU authors and offer an easier and faster way to collaborate and write articles.

Through this implementation, and via a one-click submission link directly into their submission systems, AGU will be able to capture structured manuscript metadata, correctly compiled LaTeX files and PDFs.
