SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the suitability of using the LaTeX document classes beamer and article for publishing university texts online. Participants agree that the choice of document class should align with the intended purpose of the publication. If specific requirements exist, such as submitting to arXiv.org or publishing an extended abstract, the article class is recommended. However, if there are no strict guidelines, using beamer for lecture slides is acceptable and commonly practiced.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document classes, specifically beamer and article.
  • Understanding of publication requirements for academic documents.
  • Knowledge of platforms like arXiv.org for academic submissions.
  • Basic skills in creating LaTeX documents.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between LaTeX document classes: beamer vs. article.
  • Learn how to format documents for submission to arXiv.org.
  • Explore best practices for publishing academic presentations online.
  • Investigate additional LaTeX packages that enhance document presentation.
USEFUL FOR

Students, academic researchers, and educators looking to publish lecture materials or academic articles online will benefit from this discussion.

Hello! (Wave)

I have written a text in LATEX for the univeristy and my prof wants to put it in the web.
I wrote it using [m]beamer[/m].
Do you think that it is a good type or should I use an other one? Should I write maybe for example an article or something else? (Thinking)

[m]beamer[/m] and [m]article[/m] are examples of document classes.

What class to use depends completely on what type of document you and your professor want to put online. If there is a specific requirement, for example, if you are uploading an article to arXiv.org or if you need to publish an extended abstract as an outcome of your grant research, then you should use [m]article[/m] or a similar class. If you have no requirements on what to publish, I would not spend time on changing what you have already prepared. If you have lecture slides done using [m]beamer[/m], that's fine. A lot of people post their slides online.
