## Description

Coauthor is a platform where researchers can share their manuscript peer review experiences to crowdsource important metrics about the quality and efficiency of the peer review process at different academic publishing outlets.

This browser extension provides researchers with a dead simple way of contributing data that integrates seamlessly with their usual manuscript submission workflow. When a researcher visits their author dashboard, the extension will automatically scan all manuscripts. Then, uploading them can be done in just 1 mouse click. The extension currently supports any journal that uses the ManuscriptCentral submission system, with more supported systems coming soon.
