Authorea

Authorea is a collaborative online platform for writing, editing, reviewing, and publishing scholarly and scientific documents. Founded in 2012 by Alberto Pepe and Nathan Jenkins, it lets researchers co-author articles in rich text or LaTeX, manage citations and references, embed data, figures, and code, run version-controlled review, and export to journal-specific styles. Authorea was acquired by Atypon in 2018 and is now operated as part of John Wiley & Sons, hosted on Atypon's Literatum publishing platform, where it supports preprints, journal submission, and open collaboration for the research community. It has no public developer API today; its earlier REST API was retired after the Wiley/Atypon acquisition, and the GitHub organization now publishes only document-processing tooling (LaTeXML, Pandoc, TeX styling) rather than API client SDKs.

Authorea is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Scholarly Publishing, Academic Writing, Collaboration, and Research.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/authorea: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
