Advantages:

• Easy to use and widely available.
• Compatible with journal document templates.
• Supports comments and track changes for collaboration.

LaTeX

LaTeX is a widely used typesetting system for complex scientific documents, especially in the fields of mathematics, engineering, and computer science.

Advantages:

• Produces professional layouts.
• Great for math formulas and complex tables.
• Can be combined with automatic reference management.

Resources:

• Our Journal LaTeX Template (Download)
• Online platform: Overleaf (collaborative and no installation required)

Mendeley Desktop

Mendeley Desktop is a reference management tool that allows authors to automatically store, manage, and insert citations into manuscripts.

Advantages:

• Easily manage hundreds of references.
• Integrates directly with Word and LaTeX (via RIS and BibTeX).
• Provides annotation and collaboration features (in the IPMU Journal, we use IEEE reference style).
