Useful Features

Here is a brief list of features Authorea offers:

• Multiple writers collaborate on one paper (also offered by Google docs) \cite{Riley-Huff_2010}

• Automatic locking of paper sections (not offered by Google docs) http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/docs/HBB8p5ke9lQ

• Search and cite academic sources within Authorea (may not be that important for us but also not offered by Google docs) \cite{Zegeye_Tegegn_2008}

• Add citations from non-academic sources by adding manually to citation system (not offered by Google docs) \cite{MOI_Aitera_2012}

• Add images by drag/drop (also offered by Google docs) (see below)

• Comments per individual paper section (not offered by Google docs)

• Export to PDF or Latex format

• Ability for writers to see how the entire paper reads and writing content to fit the theme or style of other writers (not exactly a feature but a good bi-product of features)
