Upload in three steps#

1. 1
   Open Overleaf

   From the project dashboard, select New Project.

2. 2
   Choose Upload Project

   Select Upload Project from the menu.

3. 3
   Select the generated ZIP

   Choose journal-output/submission/overleaf-upload.zip and wait for the project to open.

Overleaf unpacks the archive automatically. You should immediately see main.tex, README_OVERLEAF.md, references.bib, and any required support files in a flat project root.

First compile#

Read README_OVERLEAF.md before changing settings. It records the expected compiler, bibliography tool, and any template-specific setup.

Edit safely#

Edit main.tex for the title, abstract, sections, declarations, captions, and wording. If the bundle contains supporting .tex files, edit the matching file while keeping its \input name stable.

• Edit prose in main.tex or the relevant supporting .tex file.
• Use existing labels when moving tables or figures.
• Recompile after small groups of changes.
• Download a backup before restructuring the template.

Replace figures and references#

To replace a figure, upload the new file at the project root and keep the filename unchanged, or update the matching \includegraphics reference. For citations, edit references.bib and keep citation keys stable when possible.

figure-02.png               # replace or add
references.bib              # edit verified entries
main.tex                    # update prose, captions, and references
