Researching and writing? We can help you:

• determine the best citation management tool to use
• organize citations and documents with Zotero or Mendeley or recommend other tools
• add references using BibTeX & LaTeX
• use Overleaf and other online writing tools to submit papers and write collaboratively
• read and organize PDFs and notes

We are unable to help with formatting papers/citations or determining when to cite something. See our Citing Sources Guide for resources to use while writing your paper.

Overleaf is an online LaTeX and Rich Text collaborative writing and publishing tool.
