Authorea was created by scientists and for scientists, with the idea of improving the process of writing and sharing their results. While Authorea has big plans for the \href{https://www.authorea.com/8762}{paper of the future}, in this post I want to focus on the here and now. When I talk about the platform to my colleagues, by far the most common question I get is "Why should I use Authorea to write my paper?" Great question! Here's why:  \begin{enumerate}  \item Add as many collaborators as you want with just a click. Write your paper in your browser, no installations required.  \item Your paper accessible from any computer. Anywhere in the world.  \item Version control without the hassle Collaboration made easy. Adding/removing co-authors is super simple   \item Native version control. Again no installations required.  \item Citations never been so easy. Really, Believe me,  you will never wanna go back. \item Includeyour  data and code in the your  paper. Allow for  transparency and reproducibility. reproducibility of results.  \item Export to any journal format with just a click click.  \item Powerful commenting system (for system. For  internal or even external review) review  \item No endless emails threads with multiple draft revisions  \end{enumerate}  These are some of the highlights. For me starting writing collaborative papers with Authorea meant a number of immediate improvements: first of all \textbf{my papers get written faster}. The other most important change is that I \textbf{do not need to exchange emails} with collaborators concerning the paper. All the action happens (and it's logged) on Authorea, including discussions about revisions and suggestions for improvement.
