Scholarly publishing is hard, really hard. ~Researchers submit their
manuscripts to journal after journal after journal in hopes of
publishing their work in the most prestigious outlet. Because of how
long and strenuous the publishing process is it's been compared to
birth, a battlefield, and a lottery. ~Individual student publishing at
the graduate or undergraduate level is nearly unheard of--we'd like to
change that.\selectlanguage{english}

Arguably, a student shouldn't have their class essay published alongside
the work of an eminent researcher. ~Behind most work published in
journals are years of research and often million dollars of funding.
~Behind student essays are a few weeks of analysis, sometimes only a few
hours. ~But that doesn't mean students should not publish at all or that
costs should limit them (or anyone).~

\par\null

Millions of students around the world write multiple essays on complex
topics each year. ~Most of their work will be read by their teacher's
assistant and their professor--that's it. ~These essays offer new
insight and perspective on nearly every topic imaginable, yet they are
only read by a handful of people and will ultimately be lost over time.
Therein lies an opportunity lost for students and for the community. We
think students should have the ability to publish their essays, to
communicate their thoughts and ideas to peers and to build their online
resume. At Authorea you can write your original NIH-funded research or
your class essay, we're built to accommodate researchers from all fields
and levels of training.

\par\null

Teachers have already started to use Authorea as a place for their
students to write and to receive feedback. ~We think it's a great
opportunity and wanted to share with you some these essays in hope that
you not only write your next research article on Authorea, but that you
use Authorea in a classroom.
