ACM has partnered with Overleaf, a free cloud-based, collaborative authoring tool, to provide an ACM LaTeX authoring template.

Overleaf is a collaborative platform: Authors can easily invite colleagues to collaborate on their document. Authors can write using ‘Rich Text mode’ or regular ‘Source Mode.’ This is useful for cross-disciplinary collaboration in the cases where some authors prefer to write in LaTeX while others might prefer a word processing format. The platform automatically compiles the document while an author writes, so the author can see what the finished file will look like in real time.  The template also allows authors to submit manuscripts easily to ACM from within the Overleaf platform.

The ACM LaTeX template on Overleaf platform is available to all ACM authors here.
