Hello!
I am the founder and developer of Refereed: https://refereed.com/
Refereed is a Finnish startup with a mission to make the process of academic writing, peer review, and publishing smooth, convenient, and compliant with open science principles. Up until now, we have been developing the first building block of the platform - the editor for academic writing, which natively supports real-time collaboration, LaTeX, citation management, dynamic references, and lets you focus on writing instead of formatting.
The next steps are one-click preprint publishing and interactive peer review and we are already discussing the options with preprint servers. But before moving further I would like to make sure that our editor delivers the best possible experience for the authors. I am a space scientist myself and I was developing this project according to my needs. But it could easily be the case that I haven't taken into account the specific needs of other research areas.
I kindly ask for your critical feedback about the Refereed editor. Try it out, and let me know what should be done differently in your opinion. I can't express enough how vital your input would be for the project!

You can leave your feedback directly in the editor using the yellow widget, which says "Feedback", or in this discussion thread. I would be happy to engage in a fruitful discussion and perhaps we will come up with some fresh ideas!
I just wonder - there is no fees visible on the first glance. Is REFERRED going to be free of charges????
The details of the monetization model are not set in stone yet, there are options. Right now, I am more focused on product development. Most likely some of the advanced features or workflows will require a subscription.
