\section*{Deciding between ShareLaTeX and Authorea? Choosing the right
editor for your LaTeX manuscript is not easy. Here are some key
comparisons to help you
decide.~}

{\label{462039}}\par\null

\section*{1. Collaborating with non-LaTeX
users}

{\label{744063}}

If you are reading this, you probably know LaTeX: a typsetting system
ideal for scientific papers. ShareLaTeX brings the LaTeX desktop
experience to the web. You compose LaTeX code in one window pane and
press compile, then generate a PDF in a separate pane. This is familiar
to LaTeX writers
(\href{https://www.authorea.com/users/3/articles/107393/_show_article}{a
small percentage of the scholarly community}), but is still difficult
for non-LaTeX users (the vast majority) to grasp.

With Authorea, LaTeX is one of many formats you can write in. Others
include Markdown, and HTML (rich text, like Word!). Authorea offers a
format-neutral, web-native platform. Regardless of the format, you
render content on the web - not a separate pane that compiles a PDF
(side note, you can still export a PDF\ldots{} see below!). The
advantage: you can collaborate with authors who don't know (and will
never learn) LaTeX. Authorea's rich text editor is a true WYSIWYG editor
(What you see is what you get). It also has the ability to include as
much LaTeX and mathematical notation as you need.~Every document written
in Authorea becomes a beautiful webpage.

\section*{2. Professionally typeset and format papers to thousands of
styles in one
click}

{\label{394559}}

A benefit of LaTeX is that it outputs beautifully typset PDFs.
ShareLaTeX ~accomplishes this in the traditional way: you write LaTeX in
a template and then compile a PDF using that template styling. Authorea,
in comparison, separates format from content. Content is not restricted
by a particular output format. At any
time,~\href{https://intercom.help/authorea/publish/export/exporting-a-document}{you
can export a PDF, Word, or LaTeX version of your document in the style
of your choice}. For example, your requirements may look like this:
"\emph{download a one column line-numbered 12pt version with~APA
citations and figures positioned at the end of the document"}. Why is
this important? If Journal X rejects your manuscript, you won't waste a
day reformatting it for Journal Y. Authorea does it in one click. (And
yes, you can also easily export your LaTeX papers to Word's .docx
format!)

\section*{3. Built on Git, for superior version control and data
hosting}

{\label{727837}}

Every Authorea document is a Git repository you can interact with (i.e.
push from, pull to, fork, etc). Our Git back-end~has two major
advantages: 1) All changes made to Authorea documents are tracked by Git
i.e., one of the most robust version control systems. No longer will you
need to track changes in Word. Version history of any document is
integrated within the document itself. 2) Since every document in
Authorea is a Git repository, you can include more than just text and
images: data, code, videos, data visualizations, notebooks, workflows.
Unlike ShareLaTeX where documents you create are PDFs, Authorea creates
web-native documents that allow you to \textbf{integrate data, code and
all the material needed to reproduce scientific results}. This enables
transparency and reproducibility, the very foundations of the scientific
method. Authorea can allow the long-awaited leap that
will~\href{https://www.authorea.com/107282}{push~the scientific paper
into~the 21st century}.

\section*{4. Authorea is the social, open science platform of the
future}

{\label{310128}}

ShareLaTeX is a writing tool. Authorea, in contrast, is a social, open
science platform. It provides scholars with a profile page, including
bios and statistics. Institutions also have dedicated~pages and
collaboration statistics. Authors can keep track of their academic
connections and \href{https://www.authorea.com/browse}{discover new
content}. As a result, Authorea is the place where the next generation
of research will be created, shared, and reviewed.\selectlanguage{english}
