BROOKLYN, NY, March 28, 2017 -- Authorea, an online collaborative editor
for research documents, has partnered with the American Geophysical
Union (AGU)~to offer one-click direct submission of articles written on
Authorea to a collection of leading earth and space science journals
published by AGU.

AGU, founded in 1919, is a not-for-profit professional organization
representing 60,000 members in 137 countries. AGU publishes over 6,000
articles annually across its catalog of journals. Authorea has now
integrated direct submission to the following AGU journals:

\emph{* Earth and Space Science}

\emph{* Earth's Future}

\emph{* Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems}

\emph{* GeoHealth}

\emph{* Geophysical Research Letters}

\emph{* Global Biogeochemical Cycles}

\emph{* Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems}

\emph{* Journal of Geophysical Research:}

\emph{~~~~~~~~-- Atmospheres}

\emph{~~~~~~~~-- Biogeosciences}

\emph{~~~~~~~~-- Earth Surface}

\emph{~~~~~~~~-- Oceans}

\emph{~~~~~~~~-- Planets}

\emph{~ ~ ~ ~~-- Space Physics}

\emph{~~~~~~~~-- Solid Earth}

\emph{* Paleoceanography}

\emph{* Radio Science}

\emph{* Reviews of Geophysics}

\emph{* Space Weather}

\emph{* Tectonics}

Authorea provides industry leading writing tools for researchers.
Authors may write in multiple markup languages (including richtext,
Markdown, and LaTeX), can search and insert citations from the web or
from another reference manager, and can insert data sources and rich
media into the document itself.

The partnership streamlines the formatting and submission process for
authors. Whereas before authors could spend hours or days formatting
documents to meet submission requirements, Authorea automatically
formats, packages, and sends submissions to the journal, greatly
reducing the time cost of submission for authors.

Josh Nicholson, Chief Research Officer at Authorea, says: ``We're
excited to partner and work with AGU to make the editing and submission
of research articles easier and more efficient for earth and space
science researchers. AGU publishes some of the world's most important
research and we're excited to integrate to make publishing more
streamlined and effective.''

Brooks Hanson, Director of Publications at AGU, says: ``As a leader in
scientific collaboration and innovative publishing, we're always looking
for ways to improve our publications, scientific collaboration, and the
experience for our authors. In partnering with Authorea, AGU provides
our authors and researchers with another tool to simplify the submission
process allowing them to spend more time focused on their research and
less on formatting submissions.''
