Abstract
It has never been that simple to collaborate without geographical limitations as the Internet brought us numerous tools and platforms that can facilitate this process. Before the Internet era, when manuscripts were written in large collaborations, the document was sent by post to the co-authors who made changes and sent the manuscript back to the main author, who created a new version which was sent out again. Mails back and forth in an inefficient, long, time-wasting process. E-mails made the process a bit faster, but co-authors still struggle to make it as efficient as possible.
