Our great sponsors

    Emacs package to quickly find and act on bibliographic references, and edit org, markdown, and latex academic documents.

  • If you need citations, having Citar at your disposal is crazy nice.

  • magit

    It's Magit! A Git Porcelain inside Emacs.

  • Just wanted to point out that you can use emacs with overleaf through GitHub and Magit; see https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Using_Git_and_GitHub and https://magit.vc/.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • overleaf-sync

    Overleaf Two-Way Synchronization

  • There is a supplement: https://github.com/moritzgloeckl/overleaf-sync

  • org-ref

    org-mode modules for citations, cross-references, bibliographies in org-mode and useful bibtex tools to go with it.

  • Do you have experience with org-ref? If so, would you be able to help me out and tell me why you prefer Citar? It looks very interesting.
