One of the trickier aspects of writing a research paper is collaborating with co-authors, especially since you may not always be in the same city or country. F1000Workspace makes this much easier – you can create shared projects and invite co-authors, share a manuscript, and even discuss and annotate articles so that you’re all on the same page with your paper.

To create a shared project, simply go to ‘Projects: shared’ and click on the big + symbol to create a project, where you’ll be prompted to invite co-authors. You can then upload a manuscript that you can all edit and add to; use the ‘activity’ tab on a shared project to keep track of who’s done what.

With a shared project, all authors can upload their reference libraries, so that not a single citation is missed. You can even edit each others’ citations if you wish. There are over 7,500 citation styles to choose from – or create your own.
