CAMBRIDGE, UK, Friday, January 13, 2017 -- Authorea, the leading online
editor for writing and publishing research documents, is integrating
eLife into its submission system to give authors more options for direct
submission to journals.

eLife, the non-profit initiative backed by leading research funding
organizations and led by scientists, operates a platform for research
communication that recognizes and encourages responsible practices in
science. eLife is now working with Authorea to allow authors to write
and submit research directly to the journal as quickly and easily as
possible.

eLife's partnership with Authorea aims to reduce the burden of
submission on authors. A new document editor for researchers, Authorea
makes it easy to write research documents and to host these online or
submit them to journals for publication.

Authorea gives authors the ability to write in multiple markup languages
and host documents directly as standalone preprints. There are also
hundreds of export styles for these documents, and Authorea's recent
integration with EJournalPress (EJPress) provides a direct link to
eLife, simplifying the journal submission process.

Josh Nicholson, Chief Research Officer at Authorea, says: ``We're
excited to partner with eLife, a major innovator in research publishing.
eLife is an ideal submission destination for the tens of thousands of
researchers who use Authorea to write groundbreaking research, and we
look forward to partnering with eLife to help scientists gain great
exposure for their discoveries.''

Melissa Harrison, Head of Production Operations at eLife, adds: ``We're
delighted to be working with Authorea to make the submission process
easier for authors. We hope to see this and other partnerships continue
over the coming months, so that we can provide our authors with the best
possible writing and publishing tools available to them.''
