\section*{Are you comparing Microsoft Word vs
Authorea?}

{\label{462039}}

Choosing the right word processor for your documents is very important.
Microsoft Word and Authorea have one main fundamental difference:
\textbf{Word functions offline and Authorea functions online}. That
means that if you're working in collaboration with other people, you
never have to check that you're editing the last version. Authorea
always has the last version!

\par\null

In addition to being an online tool, Authorea has some features that
make it perfect for you if you are writing a scholarly manuscript, a
student essay, a math heavy manuscript, a technical blog post, or a
data-driven document. We list here a few key comparison points that show
how MS Word and Authorea are different.

\par\null\par\null

\section*{1. Bibliographic management}

{\label{372339}}

Whether you are citing a paper on the flying ice cube~\cite{Harvey_1998}
or a paper by~\citet{28069665}, Authorea lets you easily add citations
to bibliographic references in a couple of clicks. The citation manager
lets you search millions of scholarly papers and add and format them
quickly. A bibliography, listing all references at the end of the
document, is built automatically and instantly for you.

\section*{2. Mathematical equations, LaTeX and Markdown
support}

{\label{856498}}

Do you need to write formulae and heavy mathematical notation in your
paper? Or maybe you need to write entire parts of your paper in LaTeX?
Authorea's rich text editor is a true WYSIWYG editor (what you see is
what you get), but it gives you the possibility to include mathematics
as well as LaTeX and Markdown. If you have to type a simple (yet
beautiful) equation such as \(e^{i\pi}+1=0\), or a full fledged
equation in LaTeX, such as eq.{\ref{eqn:lat}} (below),
you can! Read this tutorial:
\href{https://intercom.help/authorea/write/structure-of-a-document/how-to-write-mathematical-equations-and-formulae}{How
to add mathematical equations and formulae}.~

\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:lat}
\sum\limits_{n = - \infty }^\infty {x(n)y^* (n)} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int\limits_{ - \pi }^\pi {X(e^{j\omega } )Y^* (e^{j\omega } )d\omega }
\end{equation}\selectlanguage{english}

\section*{3. Direct integration with publishers: format citations and
submit to journals in one
click}

{\label{394559}}

At any point in time in your writing process,
\href{https://intercom.help/authorea/publish/export/exporting-a-document}{you
can export a version of your document (in PDF, Word, or LaTeX)}
formatted in the style (including citation style!) of your choice (e.g.
"\emph{download a 1-column line-numbered 12pt version of your paper
with~APA citations and figures positioned at the end of the document"}).
Why is this important? \textbf{If you submit a paper to Journal X and
get rejected, you don't have to spend a full day reformatting your paper
and citations for Journal Y}. Authorea does it for you, in one click.
But wait, there's more. Authorea is now integrated with the top journal
publishers in the world, so that you don't have to worry about exporting
your work to PDF or Word--submit it automatically to the journal of
choice, in one click. Additionally, you can publish or preprint right on
Authorea (yes, \href{https://intercom.help/authorea/publish}{you can get
a DOI for your manuscript}!)

\section*{4. Built on Git, for superior version
control}

{\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.

\section*{5. Data hosting}

{\label{161857}}

Since every document in Authorea is a Git repository, you can include in
it more than just text and images: data, code, videos, data
visualizations, notebooks, workflows. 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}. Figure~{\ref{626250}}, below,
has data associated with it (see the data flag in the top left!)

\end{center}
\end{figure}



\section*{6. Semantic, structured
documents}

{\label{310128}}

Authorea is primarily built for scholarly articles, and it knows what
scholarly articles look like. So every article you create has a semantic
structure: a title, a list of authors (with affiliations), a number of
labeled paragraphs/sections, labeled figures, tables, and equations,
citations and a bibliography at the end. Some documents may also have an
abstract and keywords. This structure allows you to quickly and easily
refer to any part of your document. In the future, we will be able to
use this semantic markup in even more interesting ways.

\section*{7. Authorea is the social open science platform of the
future}

{\label{115401}}

Microsoft Word is a word processor. Authorea is more than that: it is a
social open science platform. Scholars on Authorea have profile pages,
including bios and statistics. Their 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}.
\textbf{Authorea is the place where the next generation of open
fact-based research will be created, consumed, shared, and reviewed}.\selectlanguage{english}

\section*{8. On premise Enterprise installations for maximum security and
privacy}

{\label{504802}}

Do you, or your institution, manage confidential data and content that
cannot be hosted on the cloud? Authorea offers~Enterprise licenses that
let you run a white-labeled instance of Authorea that is locally hosted
or deployed on your private cloud, to satisfy organizational network
security requirements. Find out more about
\href{https://www.authorea.com/user_plans}{pricing and plans}.
