\section*{Academic writing and its
importance}

{\label{550062}}

Writing is a big part of an academic researcher's career. From grants,
manuscripts, and emails -- academics spend \emph{a lot} of time writing.
But how much time is hard to determine. Ironically, there has not been
enough writing on academic writing! One study suggests that researchers
spend just two percent of their work week on writing (See
Figure~{\ref{130672}},~\citealt{Ziker_2014}). Of course,
depending on how long your work week is, that may not amount to much.~

\section*{Speeding Up Academic
Writing}

{\label{220028}}

We built Authorea to make collaborative research writing easier.
Unfortunately, we can't make it any faster to type or speed up your
internet connection. But we can speed up steps in the writing process
like formatting, submission, and collaboration. ~Indeed, as
figure~{\ref{130672}}~shows, email is a major time-sink
for researchers, taking up to an estimated 13\% of their time. ~We
didn't cut that need altogether. But with a single platform for
collaboration and communication, we've made writing quicker and easier.

\subsection*{One-click submission to the world's leading
journals}

{\label{726133}}

Authorea allows academic researchers to~submit directly to a growing
list of peer-reviewed journals. Therefore, when you're done writing,
simply hit ``submit'' to send your manuscript for review. As one
researcher said,
"\href{https://twitter.com/txkuhn/status/831799357624160256}{Submitting
manuscripts to journals directly via @authorea is so super easy I just
accidentally submitted a Hello World paper to @eLife :/}"\selectlanguage{english}

\subsection*{Commenting on the document, not in
emails}

{\label{256257}}

In addition, Authorea makes cross-disciplinary work easy by facilitating
collaboration in one space. ~Researchers can comment and edit the same
document in real time. This eliminates delay and miscommunication caused
by back and forth emails.
