Authorea: publish and disseminate cutting edge, open research

Make your research more widely discoverable, accessible, and citable with Authorea. Both an online writing tool and preprint hosting platform, Authorea is designed for the creation and rapid dissemination of modern open research. Authorea is free for researchers and can be used by anyone.

How it works:

Upload or create

Upload Word, PDF, or LaTeX files as well as data, code, Jupyter Notebooks, videos, and figures or start a document from scratch. Take advantage of online, real-time author collaboration, LaTeX and Markdown support, and over 8,000 journal templates.

Disseminate your research rapidly

When you post your work as a preprint, a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is assigned which makes your research citable, shareable, and discoverable immediately.

Get published in a refereed journal

You can seamlessly submit to a number of referred journals from your Authorea preprint. Or, participate in Wiley’s Under Review program, where a submission to participating journals allows you to preprint the manuscript and display the ongoing peer review status as part of the submission process. In either case, when published in a journal, Authorea can link your preprint to the published version.

How Authorea supports open, reproducible research

  • Multiple disciplines: Authorea's repository is for any field of research, from Anthropology to Zoology
  • Comments: Discuss your preprints with your collaborators and the scientific community
  • Interactive figures: Not just PDFs. You can publish d3.js and Plot.ly graphs, data, code, Jupyter Notebooks. Each Authorea document has a file repository to link data to specific tables and figures
