Case Study: University of Cambridge achieves significant growth in research collaboration with Overleaf

University of Cambridge quadruples Overleaf registrations to 1,648 in 9 months with Overleaf

The University of Cambridge sought a university-wide solution to support collaborative authoring and the preparation of sophisticated publications for its researchers and students. They implemented a trial of Overleaf Commons, a comprehensive subscription package from the vendor Overleaf, to provide a seamless platform for its community.

The solution from Overleaf provided branded access, administrative analytics, and Pro+ accounts for users, leading to a dramatic increase in adoption. The results for the University of Cambridge showed a near quadrupling of registered Overleaf users to over 1,650 and a more than five-fold increase in projects created. Additionally, collaborations with external institutions nearly tripled, growing from under 100 to nearly 250.
