Authorea

Authorea is a preprint archive owned by Wiley that allows researchers to post multi-disciplinary early view research as preprints. It was originally founded in 2013 as an online collaborative writing tool with online publishing and preprinting capabilities, and later expanded as a platform to host branded partner preprint archives, such as the Earth Space Science Open Archive and TechRxiv. Authorea has been owned by the commercial publishing company Wiley since 2018, originally through an acquisition by Atypon, and now exists as Wiley's own preprint archive following migration of the Authorea and all partner preprint archives to Wiley's own Research Exchange Preprints platform, launched in 2026.
