AuthoreaREVOLUTIONIZING RESEARCH2

Scientific research impacts our lives in innumerable ways. And it’s just the beginning: science is becoming more computational, collaborative, data-driven, automated, and web-based.

Scientists produce 21st century research

Data and papers should not be two separate things

The problem: inadequate tools for writing research

21 ST CENTURY DOCUMENTS Authorea

An unusable hodgepodge of antiquated and ridiculously, ridiculously bad-looking tools.

The problem, part deux: printer-centric documents

We’re still writing and typesetting documents meant to be printed. PDFs and Word files are not first-class web citizens.

Publication workflows

We make it easy to publish on Authorea (issue a DOI for your work, get cited) or in leading journals, via one click submission and export.

Accelerating research

It takes a long time - too long - to get work written and published. Let’s get better at it.

Success Stories

A collaboration of 200+ CERN researchers used Authorea to write the first post-Higgs Boson research article. Paper is published on Authorea and in the Journal of High Energy Physics

The first scientific article about the recent Ebola outbreak was written on Authorea, collaboratively, by 25 scholars working remotely. It was published in Cell and in Authorea as a preprint. The version on Authorea also includes data and source code to reproduce the study. It was covered by New York Times.

An entire classroom at the Center for Urban Space and Progress of New York University is using Citibike data to write data-driven interactive student papers about bike mobility in New York City.

Authroea allows for data-driven interactive graphics. Current integrations with Jupiter Notebooks, d3.js, plot.ly, cartodb, Bokeh and flotcharts.
