Writing research documents has not advanced much in the last few decades. Researchers, as a whole, still write their documents in Microsoft Word \cite{Pepe}, emailing different versions back and forth amongst each other. This workflow predates online document editors, making research collaboration and dissemination slower and more tedious than what is technically possible today in 2017. This is why we built Authorea, a modern collaborative online document editor for researchers, to make research collaboration and dissemination seamless. Below we highlight the benefits of writing research with an online document editor, like Authorea.
