Click, search, cite.

Reference management can be a huge pain for students, analysts, and researchers. Sharing your library with collaborators, formatting your references for the picky journal, and even finding what to cite--all pain points that many of us have felt over and over when writing research papers. With Authorea, we aim to make citations simple and easy, just so they do their job, no more no less. 
Authorea's citation tool allows you to search over 80 million papers. By connecting to CrossRef, PubMed, and through DOI search, citations can be easily added without any need to manage a reference library. To get started click cite or Insert Citation from the toolbar. A citation tool pops up (Figure \ref{394646}). You can type any author name, keyword, journal name, topic, year. By default, we search CrossRef - the largest scholarly metadata repository - but you can also narrow your search to medical and life sciences research, by querying Pubmed. If you have a DOI or a website URL handy, you can use these as well. Finally, if you want to narrow your search to references in your library (i.e. a paper you have already previously cited), use the Local search.
