At Authorea, we made it possible to host data behind figures in your documents from the very beginning. Starting today, however, you can add arbitrary datasets and files to your Authorea document. How to add files in your documentsIt's easy! Start a new document or open an existing one and in the toolbar select Insert 👉File, then select a file to host (Figure 1). The hosted file will look like this:

Preprints are here to stay Preprints and preprint servers continue to gain popularity across disciplines, and the number of new preprints is growing at a rate significantly higher than journal articles. Researchers have many choices when it comes to hosting their preprint, and it can be challenging to know how to choose. So, why preprint in the first place?Still unsure about what a preprint is, and what the benefits of publishing one are? We have a full introductory article, and will summarize a few points here:Get publishedDisseminate your findings as soon as they are ready. Share your work without waiting for formal publication or final versions.Invite early comments and feedbackPreprints are open for all to read, so you can invite your colleagues to provide comments and feedback to help you improve your work. Establish creditGet credit for all your research outputs - articles, data sets, figures, and more - by uploading them on Authorea and minting a DOI. This way, you establish an early version of record which will always remain valid. And you can get cited while your work is under review!What about submitting to journals?Most journals accept submissions that have been published as preprints. Your preprint on Authorea will link to the final, published version of your article, so your final citation count won't be affected.How does Authorea compare to other preprint servers?Authorea is fast seamless publishingUpload your work easily and mint a DOI immediately. Other servers can take hours or days. Share your preprint with your colleagues right away.Publish many files, different formatsThe documents you publish on Authorea don't have to be traditional scholarly articles. You can publish anything: articles, data sets, code, figures, tables, slides, micropublications, and Jupyter Notebooks. Beautiful, HTML-based contentYour content will be hosted in an HTML-based environment, not a static PDF. Yes, you can even include Javascript-based visualizations like the one below in Figure 1.Open data and executable figuresUpload your data for review by your colleagues, and include fully executable figures in your work. Authorea enriches your content to make research interactive.

You recently submitted your first manuscript for publication, and you were pleased when the editor decided to send the manuscript out for peer review. Now you have gotten the reviews back, and the editor has asked you to revise your manuscript in light of the reviewers' comments. How should you tackle this task?The comprehensive guide by \citet{Noble_2017} "Ten simple rules for writing a response to reviewers" gives you some concrete tips to organize and write a compelling letter for reviewers addressing their comments.Rule 6 states: Use typography to help the reviewer navigate your response:Use changes of typeface, color, and indenting to discriminate between 3 different elements: the review itself, your responses to the review, and changes that you have made to the manuscript.If you are writing your manuscript in Authorea, you can now very easily produce a changelog of your manuscript (the changes you have made to the manuscript) which you can export as PDF and include in your response to reviewers.

IntroductionI can write anything I like here. On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in theirjnkdsanjadsnjandasnds dadas j duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains. \cite{Hu_2014}

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

What is your mission?We founded Authorea with the mission of accelerating and opening up scientific discovery. We were frustrated that a writing tool didn't fully suit the needs of researchers -- especially researchers in a web-first, data-driven world.  Our mission is to reinvent how research documents are written and shared to capture the power of the web. In short, we allow researchers to create 21st century documents for 21st century research.What is the story behind Authorea?Authorea was started by two physicists, Alberto Pepe and Nathan Jenkins, who met while working at CERN in Geneva. CERN is the birthplace of the World Wide Web. The web was initially created to be a scientific information network that would allow researchers to share and disseminate scientific insights as fast as possible . The web today touches many facets of our lives: we produce massive volumes of content for the web, in HTML. Yet, scientific information is by and large still written, published and exchanged in formats which are not fully web compatible. PDFs and Microsoft Word documents, for example, are printer-centric rather than web-centric. Our plan with Authorea was to bring the writing process and its products (scientific manuscripts) to the web.We're a small group of former researchers from variety of different backgrounds, including life sciences, physics, math, computer science, and even the classics! 

Deciding between Authorea and Issuu? Choosing the right way to publish your content online should be based on what is best for your business. Here are some key comparisons to help you decide:1. Presenting content in HTML or PDFToday, content is primarily read on the web. However, content is still largely created for the printed page. This disconnect has lead to the creation of service like Issu, making it possible to display PDFs online in an embedded container. Authorea, a document editor and publisher was designed to be web-native. Content written and published on Authorea is displayed in HTML as well as PDF. By displaying content in HTML Authorea offers groups the following advantagesAbility to read content easily on mobileAbility to track engagement on contentEnhanced SEO (PDFs are not part of the web, only described on the web)Ability to include interactive figures 2. Creating content automatically or with a design teamMany media companies create content designed for the printer (i.e. they create PDFs). The ability to create beautiful PDFs is possible with the work of designers using Indesign or other tools like Sketch. While a beautiful PDF can be created this way, the design and implementation of custom PDFs is time-consuming with most tools. Authorea, allows groups to set up a variety of custom PDF styles that can be recreated from Word, Google Docs, or and Authorea document with the click of a single button. This is one of the real powers of Authorea, we make it easy to produce content by employing LaTeX "under the hood," the world's most advanced typesetting system. If you want to control every pixel, then you might want to utilize a design team. If you want to produce beautiful reports easily without overhead then Authorea might be your best bet.3. CollaborationAuthorea allows people to collaborate simultaneously on their documents. This means that you don't need to send a variety of different file types back and forth via email. With Authorea you can work on one document to create a beautiful report. In this case, writing is publishing.4. Customizable URL and designCreating a PDF to put online? That necessitates you utilizing an editor (Word or Google Docs), a design application (Sketch or Indesign), and a web host (Issuu, Wordpress, etc.). With Authorea you can write, edit, and publish all from Authorea. We allow groups to fully customize the URL and design of the site to make it easy to incorporate Authorea into the publishing process. In fact, it's so easy that we have effectively made writing the same thing as publishing.

A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.KeywordsImmediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations
