# 5. Data hosting

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 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 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!)
