# 3. Direct integration with publishers: submit to journals in one click

Whether you are using a word processor or a reference management system, at the end of the day, there is one thing you really need to do: submit your paper to the best possible journal. Authorea is now integrated with the top journal publishers, so that you don't even have to worry about exporting your work to PDF or Word. You can submit it automatically to the journal of choice, in one click. Additionally, you can publish or preprint right on Authorea (yes, you can get a DOI for your manuscript!)
