FSU Collaborative Collision

The Faculty Expertise and Advancement System (FEAS+)

FEAS+ is a web application that contains CV information for all FSU faculty. Information includes publications, grants, educational history, self-identified keywords, and more.

FEAS+ can perform simple or advanced searches by keyword. FSU login required.

When to use: FEAS+ is best used as a starting point. Its main advantage is the ability to search the entire FSU faculty for expertise in a specific area(s).

Overleaf

The Office of Research has recently partnered with FSU Libraries to provide Overleaf, an online cloud-based LaTeX editor that is used for writing, editing, and publishing scientific documents, to the FSU community. FSU's Overleaf subscription allows for upgraded features from the free version, including:

Increased collaboration capabilities

You can invite up to ten named collaborators to your project via the ‘share’ menu in your project (with read-only or edit access). Simply add their email address and an email invitation will be sent to them. You can remove these named collaborators at any time via the same ‘share’ menu.

Learn More

Increased compile timeout

You have more time for compilation (to generate a PDF of your document) before receiving a timeout error message.

Learn More

Real-time track changes

The track changes mode lets you see exactly what has been changed by your collaborators and allows you to accept or reject each individual change.

Learn More

Full document history and versioning

View the entire history of your project with the ability to revert to previous versions of your document from your project history (versus only 24 hours of history availability on a free Overleaf account). No more fear of losing work or making changes you can’t undo.

Advanced reference search

You can search by citation key, and our premium feature allows the added ability to search by author, title, year, or journal.

Reference manager synchronization

You can link your Mendeley and Zotero accounts to your Overleaf account, allowing you to import your reference library and keep your Overleaf document in sync with the references stored in Mendeley / Zotero.

Dropbox synchronization

You can link your Dropbox account to your Overleaf account, allowing 2-way integration with Dropbox

Git and GitHub integration

You can configure your Overleaf project to synchronize directly with a repository on GitHub, or you can use raw git access. This allows you to work offline and synchronize your files whenever you come back online. You can also use our Overleaf Git Bridge integration, which lets you git clone, push and pull changes between the online Overleaf editor, and your local offline git repository.
