Case Study: Genetics Society of America streamlines editorial workflows with Overleaf

Genetics Society of America streamlines LaTeX publishing with Overleaf, cutting accepted submissions to 70% Overleaf-formatted

The Genetics Society of America (GSA) faced significant challenges in processing LaTeX submissions for its journals, which were often fraught with formatting inconsistencies, missing files, and compilation errors. This created a heavy burden on their editorial staff, who also lacked the in-house resources to handle author support requests for LaTeX. To address this, they partnered with Overleaf and its publishing services.

Overleaf provided a cloud-based authoring platform with customized LaTeX templates for the GSA's journals, which streamlined the submission process for authors. The solution resulted in 70% of accepted LaTeX submissions being written and submitted through Overleaf. This led to a significant reduction in processing time for the editorial team, fewer errors in submissions, and a decrease in author support questions, allowing the GSA to focus on its core activities.
