How do I add subjects, keywords, or tags to my document?

Add keywords to your documents before posting them as preprints

You can add keywords, tags, or subjects to your documents in order to better group organize, and present them in your own profile page, group pages, and the Authorea Explore page. You can add up to five tags per article.

In Edit mode, select the gear from the toolbar on the document you wish to tag, and click on Add Keywords. You will also prompted to add keywords when publishing a document.


If your document is tagged with a keyword and is part of a group/collection, the keywords can be displayed at the top of the public articles tab. Group owners and administrators can manage which tags show up in groups, from the Settings tab.
