Collaborating with Ningbo University to Build a New Paradigm for Research Writing
In the matter of research writing, we have never been about "selling a tool," but rather about building a trustworthy infrastructure. Today, we welcome another important milestone—LoongTeX has officially reached a strategic collaboration with Ningbo University.
This is a deep integration between a university and a research tool platform, a high-intensity coupling between the real needs of research scenarios and frontline development capabilities. It not only solves the problem of "how to write" but fundamentally promotes "what to write," "for whom to write," and "how to write efficiently and standardized."
Why Ningbo University?
To be honest, we have discussed collaborations with many universities and indeed received numerous invitations, but there are actually not many partners truly willing to "start from the writing scenario and jointly build a research ecosystem." Ningbo University is an institution we have always wanted to actively approach and seriously collaborate with.
The reason is actually not complicated—one of LoongTeX's founders comes from Ningbo University and is a teacher at this institution.
This means we have an innate empathy for Ningbo University's research rhythm, teaching realities, and the pain points of teachers and students. And precisely because of this "on-the-ground" identity, we understand one thing more clearly: if the research writing experience is to change, it cannot rely on PowerPoint presentations or formalistic "teaching reform projects." It must take root in the practice of the first writing class, the first template, and the first submission.
So this is not an "implementation," but more like a return. We return to where the problem was first raised, bringing more mature tools, clearer goals, and a group of companions who truly want to do things well, and start over again.
What Will We Do in This Collaboration?
- 🎓 LoongTeX will serve as Ningbo University's officially recommended research writing platform, comprehensively promoted in graduate teaching, course papers, and thesis writing.
- 📦 Deeply co-build writing templates and publishing interfaces with Ningbo University's key journals and research institutes, truly achieving "from classroom writing to journal publication, from writing to publishing."
- 🧑🏫 Provide mentors with a complete review and feedback toolchain, no longer relying on "red pen annotations + Word documents" to guide students' research writing.
- 🌐 Jointly promote Chinese LaTeX writing standardization and teaching resource co-construction, helping Chinese research writing emerge from the predicament of "lack of standards" and "teaching lag."
In one sentence: We want to work together to turn "academic writing" into an ability that everyone can master and is worthy of respect, rather than a marathon sustained by experience and endurance.
Gratitude for Ningbo University's Recognition and Trust
LoongTeX is a young platform, but we want to do something that "remains unchanged for ten years." In the domestic research writing landscape that appears mature but is actually chaotic, we are very grateful to Ningbo University for their recognition of our philosophy and their trust in our team. Special thanks to Ningbo University's teaching team, graduate school, library, and journal editorial department teachers, who have invested significant time and energy from usage to co-construction.
With partners like you, we are more confident in making the "small matter" of research writing experience not so small.
Final Thoughts
LoongTeX doesn't want to be the "domestic Overleaf." We want to take another path—a product path tailored for Chinese research writing, deeply connected to the publishing process, and truly solving problems.
Now, there is another companion on this path—Ningbo University. Next, we will have more universities, more journals, and more publishing units joining us, working together to make this thing that should be "taken for granted" truly become natural.
If your university or journal editorial department also wishes to participate in similar co-construction projects, please contact us. LoongTeX is not here to sell tools; we are here to work with you to seriously do this thing once.
