# How does Authorea direct submission work?

Authorea users simply select the output style from a list of vendor styles or from the manual exporter dialog. Beyond making export and formatting simple, we've taken extra steps to ease the submission process for researchers by introducing direct submission to a growing list of publishers. With these integrations Authorea formats your manuscript automatically to the standards required by the journal and transfers author data collected on Authorea directly into the journal submission system so you don't have to re-input your affiliations.
