Authoring

An advanced editor for scholarly content

Write and style content as with any familiar word processor. Use AuthorCafe to import, organize, and use all kinds of legacy digital assets (e.g. documents, images, tables, bibliographic files, email conversations) in a specific project, or reuse them across all projects.

Write

AuthorCafe gives you three great ways to write content. Write and style as you go. Set up micro-templates and put in content. Or import legacy content, organize, extract and assemble.

See sample project

Co-write

Invite fellow authors and set write/read permission. Co-write in edit tracking mode, accept/reject changes, and redact content in one click. See full revision history. No need to version control.

Communicate

Send messages anchored to content and create discussion threads. Put math into your messages. Set response deadlines and fire a message as an email. Or simply chat.

Reference

Fetch references from CrossRef or PubMed, or search DOI, and organize your bibliography. Or import your references as .bib, and style and cite.

Cite

You will enjoy this. Cite your sections, figures, tables, references, equations, notes and see your citations update automatically in realtime.

Organize

Import your docx, pdf, xlsx, TeX, bib, jpg, png, bmp and eml, and use these digital assets across projects. Add icons to the special character palette.

Add Media

Embed code from Vimeo, YouTube or SoundCloud and annotate on the timeline to create interactive AudioVideo. Embed code from Google Maps too.

Add Math

Create equations in WYSIWYG mode and see them render as TeX. Edit the equations in either mode.

Import Tables

Import your .xlsx files and edit them in AuthorCafe. Load the entire table into your project or select rows/columns. You can also create tables natively.

Read

In the Reader mode in AuthorCafe, see your edit-tracked content redacted, with best-of-class navigation. The Reader supports Page View, with headers, footers and notes, with all floats placed close to their citations.

Present

With one mouse click, see your longform content as a draft presentation. Edit the slides, go from draft to final, share the presentation as an html slide deck and view it on any browser.

Export

Export your project as docx, pdf, html or xml (TEI). Export the images as a zip. Export your presentation as an html deck. ePub support is arriving soon.

Publish

Publish your AuthorCafe project to a secure URL and share it with a peer group. Set view permissions before you share, or make it an open URL.

Publishing Services

Hire an expert to polish your manuscript

Start a project in AuthorCafe and invite us into your project to get a free quote for any service listed below. Collaborate, annotate, and revise any type of content (text, image, audio, video) until it is final without leaving AuthorCafe.

English Editing

More manuscripts from Asia are sent back by peer review for reasons of language than science. You can avoid this and you should.

See index of style guides

Proofreading

We proof-read millions of scientific, technical, medical and scholarly manuscripts for global leaders in STM publishing. The same attention is now available to individual authors.

See index of subjects

Translation

AuthorCafe offers translation of technical content to English from other European languages for now. Look out for our support for Asian languages.

Bibliography

Though there are many tools to aggregate and organize your references and automate the styles, it is not getting easier. Get intelligent assistance.

Indexing

It is easy to create a glossary in AuthorCafe. Get it converted to an Index with page/para association as you get it typeset with AuthorCafe.

Typesetting

Tap into two decades of experience in nuanced typography and visually compelling layout for structured scholarly content such as articles, books, book series, and reference works.

Cover Design

The cover is the greatest advertisement for your content. So launch your campaign with AuthorCafe. And no templates please.

Infographic

AuthorCafe has the specialist resources who can begin with just a hint of what you have in mind and interpret and render your story in the most engaging way.

Illustration

Have a rough sketch? Whether it is a simple graph or chart, or a complex scientific illustration, the professionals in AuthorCafe can make it state of the art.

AudioVideo

Get your footage edited, layered, mixed, color-managed, chapterized, close-captioned, subtitled, or format-converted on AuthorCafe. If you have analog sources, we can digitize, catalogue and archive it to cloud, tape, or microfilm.

Animation

Need animated shorts to express your research, or 3D models to simulate your vision? Rely on our experience to find the narrative edge you need and the finish that is right.

Web Design

AuthorCafe has the web tools and end-to-endworkflows to create, deploy, update, and disseminate scholarly content online. After a little while, it becomes DIY.

Find Publisher

Leverage our partners' decades-long standing in STM publishing services to find who is right for you, with the right footprint in the right geography and subject areas.

Author Testimonials

subsection_line

Your platform, AuthorCafe, is very impressive, and I think it may be of use in any number of situations.

Prof. Ram RamaswamyPresident, Indian Academy of Sciences; Professor, School of Physical Sciences, JNU

We use AuthorCafe in our marketing team where some of our long form content requires solutions beyond what WordPress or Google Docs can provide. I'd recommend a (free) test drive to anyone, academic or otherwise, who is in the business of creating content longer than 5 pages.

Lux NarayanCEO and Co-founder, Unmetric

The search function in the editing mode works well, fast, and accurately. The numbering of the searched word(s) is helpful. The 'Video Insert’ feature, involving the pasting of video links from YouTube, is excellent. Works smoothly on Safari (on my iMac) as well.
