UPS, Abya Yala Publishing house, GIREI (Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes) and GIERIMP (Energías Renovables e Implementación Mecánica Pymes) organized the workshop titled "Writing scientific articles based on ShareLatex" which was aimed at UPS researchers. 

Attendees obtained competencies and skills in the use of LaTeX, which, with the ShareLatex virtual platform, has allowed the coordination and collaboration of online participants through a guided development.

The documents created on the platform are high quality, which makes it possible to save time in creating multiple files. Furthermore, the researcher can directly access the LaTeX platform, without relying on installable software, via a browser from which you enter and work collaboratively with a co-author in the free version.

The workshop demonstrated the significant improvement in the presentation of scientific articles by writing in Latex and ShareLatex. The instructor was PhD student Esteban Inga Ortega, coordinator of the smart grids research group (Girei) and director of Electrical Engineering at UPS, Quito.

The topics of the workshop were:

-    Motivation of researchers regarding the quality of scientific products needed in journals
-    Download scientific articles from virtual libraries
-    Use of Mendeley and export of quotations for Latex
-    Common ShareLatex templates to work scientific articles
-    Exporting Matlab images to PDF files for ShareLatex
-    Editing tables and algorithms
