  8. Some key numbers: • # of references in Mendeley: 412! • # of WP deliverables written in Overleaf 6 (out of 7) • # of members in XLS-Mendeley group: 17 • Known problems: • Only the person who linked the .bib file in overleaf can refresh it • Mendeley -> Overleaf changes keys (found a work around: now key is only ”AuthorYear” e.g. Latina1989)

  9. Personal remarks: • Overall the Overleaf & Mendeley combo is quite powerful and well recieved. • Very good start into this process and now (most) people are familiar with the workflow • There is still a tiny room for improvement ;-)
