This unprecedented release empowers students and researchers to review – using Authorea’s “History” feature – every change and edit made by the authors during the writing of this landmark research paper.  “When we planned this study, our team decided to make our work as open and transparent as possible, and writing the paper on Authorea is part of that,” said co-lead author Danny Park of the Broad Institute. “We feel felt  a moral imperative to put everything out there, especially in this kind of emergency situation.” This release follows Authorea was founded to improve science by making researchers' day-to-day tasks easier, says co-founder Alberto Pepe. "We realized we were wasting time emailing around documents and data, and using "Track Changes" in Word. So we built  a recent crisis website where everyone from our team could write and edit  in science, with several high-profile retractions the same place. That was the beginning  of fraudulent research from major journals. Authorea."  But the  Authorea was developed team also had a broader goal: open science.   But the Authorea has a another benefit as well: transparency. "  “It’s well known that open access can save lives by making research available  to encourage people who use it,” said Peter Suber from the Harvard Open Access Project. “Especially in a crisis where time is of the essence, it’s critical for research  and empower exactly this kind data to be made public. [importance  of[easy  collaboration with natural open science/transparency] and quick discovery to help save lives]”  This is the latest in a series of steps by theThis kind of transparency is unusual, especially in the life sciences, where   "When we started, scientists shared data and wrote results by Authorea was initially developed as way to a better word processor to help researchers,  says co-founder and former Harvard astrophysicist Alberto Pepe. "We felt that emailing revisions and data around is slow and labor-intensive.  Open Science is … Authorea supports all of these.  “It’s well known that open access can save lives by [getting information to people on the ground in a crisis],” said Peter Suber from the Harvard Open Access Project. “Especially in a crisis where time is of the essence, it’s critical for research and data to be made public.
