We are scientist. We Scientists  are re  busy people.\\ people.  We have deadlines to meet, meetings to attend, lectures to give. And of course we need to write papers, not only because we want are excited  to share our findings, but also because scientific papers are the currency of the academic world. 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 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.  Writing papers is a fundamental part of the research process. The idea for Authorea came because we were writing scientific papers and we wanted to improve the way it is done.

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?" Here's why.  Let me start by saying that, as chief scientist at Authorea, I am obviously a biased party. This said I am an active researcher and I've been writing papers for several years. I've done it in many different ways: \latex with and without bibtex, sending n-tarballs via email (sic), having the paper version-controlled with cvs or svn, and of course I've been using Authorea. I have written papers with 2 or 42 collaborators. I know from first hand experience that the pain can be real and I am truly interested in sharing with colleagues my experience on the pros and cons of the different approaches.  Here is why you should use Authorea to write your paper:  Here is why you should use Authorea to write your paper:  \section{Disclaimer}  As chief scientist at Authorea, I am obviously a biased party.
