Downloading with .bbl file, for journal submission

Some journals require that the .bbl file (an auxiliary file containing the formatted bibliography data) is included with submissions. On Overleaf, the .bbl and other auxiliary files created during compilation are 'cached', and can be accessed from the Other logs and files dropdown menu. You can get to this by clicking the file icon beside Recompile.

  • clicking Submit in the top right hand corner
  • searching and selecting arXiv
  • selecting Download with .bb from the dialogue there.
