* export to "standard" formats for Journal article submission
[Authorea](https://www.authorea.com) was co-founded by [Alberto Pepe](http://albertopepe.com), a postdoctoral fellow in the [Seamless Astronomy](http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/seamlessastronomy/) group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. (Alyssa Goodman serves as Pepe's postdoctoral sponsor, and as scientific consultant to the Authorea project.) Pepe, who is also now a fellow at Harvard's [Berkman Center](http://cyber.law.harvard.edu), was a key member of the organizing committee for the "Transforming Scholarly Communication"
workshop, and, in-part as a result of setting workshop. Pepe set up
the this workshop's tumblr site,
he and Authorea was, in-part, inspired by the frustration tumblr users experience when trying to work collaboratively online. Further inspiration came from looking over all that was
frustrated learned at the workshop, and from experiences beforehand, which showed that even though systems with
limitations desirable properties existed (e.g. github for provenance, Markdown for easy ascii authoring), they had yet to be combined into an easy-to-use tool for scholars.
Today, Authorea has more than 1000 users, even though it is still in a very early stage of
online authoring systems available active development. The near-term future of Authorea will see:
* dynamic image formats
* additional output file format options (for increased compatibility across fields and publishers)
* expanded commenting and annotation options
* access to
scholars who want works for referees, as non-authors
* links to
work collaboratively. the Dataverse project
* general expansion of the model so as to include projects that bear less resemblance to scholarly articles (e.g. inclusion, easy access, to more file types in the "Folder" view)
* collaborations with publishers, foundations, and other organizations
