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.
