Thomson Reuters partners with Overleaf
Thomson Reuters has partnered with Overleaf, an online Rich Text and LaTeX collaborative writing and publishing tool. The partnership is aimed at allowing authors to submit manuscripts created in the Overleaf platform directly to the thousands of journals that use the Thomson Reuters – ScholarOne submission and peer review system.
The ScholarOne and
Overleaf integration will greatly simplify the submission process for authors, while helping journals capture structured manuscript metadata, composed PDF documents, and correctly compiled LaTeX files, the two companies say.
Publishers who work with Overleaf and/or ScholarOne can now offer their authors the value-add of a one-click submission process. Authors can write, collaborate and submit to a journal, all from within the Overleaf platform.
Josh Dahl, head of publishing and associations for Thomson Reuters IP & Science, said: ‘Simplifying the end-user experience is an important priority for Thomson Reuters. The integration between ScholarOne and Overleaf goes beyond ingestion and truly supports the researcher’s workflow, from initial submission to edits and revisions. We are excited to launch this partnership for our customers and authors.’
The new submission option will be available from December 2015, with the two companies saying that several major international publishers have already signed up to use the integration upon its release.
CILIP recognition for Hong Kong courses
Two courses at the University of Hong Kong have received CILIP accreditation, recognising that they provide solid preparation for professional practice and a suitable base for anybody entering the library, information and knowledge management profession.
The Master of Science in Library and Information Management (MSc LIM) and the Bachelor of Science in Information Management (BSc IM) have gained formal CILIP accreditation, following the institution’s assessment visit earlier this month. Helen Berry, CILIP’s
development officer for learning providers, said: ‘Our first accredited provider in the Far East, The University of Hong Kong, is an important addition to a growing global network of learning providers that offer quality assurance for learners pursuing a career in the library, information and knowledge professions.’

opportunities offered to the students, joint teaching on modules with professional staff from the university library, and the positive feedback from current students who see the courses as directly relevant to the careers they wish to pursue. CILIP’s learning provider accreditation programme is designed to help students choose library and information career
programmes that cover the essential skills and knowledge, and have been rigorously assessed by CILIP. Accredited programmes are assessed using the CILIP’s Professional Knowledge and Skills Base (PKSB), which identifies the core knowledge and skills of the profession. The University of Hong Kong is the third CILIP accredited learning provider outside the United Kingdom.
