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.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Authorea the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Authorea scores 8.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Authorea
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Authorea. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
