Authorea brings scholarly writing to the web, making authoring of technical articles as easy as writing a blog post. Authorea is built on a robust underlying version control system (Git) allowing authors to write concurrently, locking portions of articles, tracking who is working on other portions, keeping a record of changes and undoing them at any time. Authors can also easily add citations, table, figures and mathematical notation, in addition to data-driven interactive plots (e.g., [https://www.authorea.com/3904/](https://www.authorea.com/users/3/articles/3904/_show_article)). Authorea's infrastructure allows authors to directly submit papers to a journal and publishers can host their peer review and editorial processes on the same platform where the article was written, greatly shortening the number of steps needed to get a paper published.   ## Authorea's mission  Besides making research writing faster and more efficient, Authorea operates under a social mission: to make science more open and transparent (Open Science, Open Data). You can find more about Authorea's mission in this blog post called: [Science was always meant to be open][https://www.authorea.com/users/3/articles/6316/_show_article]. open](https://www.authorea.com/users/3/articles/6316/_show_article).
