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.

LoongTeX —— Making Research Happen Better
FOR TRUTH AND BEAUTY

In scientific research work, reasonable task management and clear organization of ideas are crucial for improving work efficiency. To this end, LoongTeX has added a convenient TODO list feature that allows users to add and manage TODO items directly in project files, helping researchers better organize and plan their work.

Feature Overview​

LoongTeX's TODO list feature allows users to add TODO items anywhere in project files by simply using a specific comment format. TODO items are automatically recognized and recorded by the system, and are centrally displayed in the project for easy viewing and management.

Usage Rules​

To create a TODO item in LoongTeX, simply add a comment line in the project file following this format:

% TODO My TODO item

• Format Requirements: The TODO format must start with % TODO, followed by the TODO content.
• Case Sensitive: Must strictly use uppercase TODO. Lowercase or mixed-case todo will not be recognized.
• Any Location: TODO items can be added anywhere in the project file. LoongTeX will automatically scan the entire file and recognize all TODO items.

Feature Highlights​

1. Automatic Recognition and Management: LoongTeX automatically recognizes TODO items in project files and displays them centrally in a separate TODO panel.
2. Real-time Synchronization: After adding or modifying TODO items, the system updates in real-time, ensuring users can always view the latest TODO status.
3. Intuitive and Simple: No additional plugins or complex operations are required. Just a simple comment line can create a TODO item, making it very convenient and quick.
4. Collaboration Support: In multi-person collaborative projects, all members can see and manage TODO items in the project, facilitating team task allocation and progress tracking.

Application Scenarios​

• Task Breakdown: Break down complex research tasks into multiple small TODO items and complete them step by step.
• Team Collaboration: Clarify tasks and responsibilities for each member in team projects.
• Work Planning: Create daily or weekly work plans to improve work efficiency.

Summary​

LoongTeX's TODO list feature aims to simplify the task management process for researchers, helping users manage and complete work tasks more efficiently. By using a simple comment format to create TODO items, efficient and convenient task management is achieved. LoongTeX is committed to providing researchers with a more user-friendly and efficient writing and collaboration experience.
