### Highlighted Outcome: Authorea
The document you are reading was created in a new online scholarly publication authoring system, called
"**Authorea**," **Authorea**, inspired by the Sloan-supported workshop. It offers many features that discussions at the workshop deemed desirable, including:
* easy system
for allowing many co-authors to work
collaboratively online, all at once
* support for markup languages (LaTeX) and Markdown
* export to "standard" formats for Journal article submission
* flexible handling of image formats
* option to make work private or public, and the opportunity to make initially "private" work public
* provenance-aware authoring (github backend used for version control)
* easy citation insertion, using extant repositories (e.g. ADS)
* 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 up the workshop's tumblr site, he was frustrated with limitations of online authoring systems available to scholars who want to work collaboratively.
