Engagement Occurs on a Spectrum
The Genius Use-case for Annotation
• Annotations initiated by editors and journalists at the
Washington Post

• No annotation tool for readers, but comments on
journalists’ annotations are allowed (post-publication
moderation)

How We’ve Addressed
These Challenges with
Remarq®
Q
Tools for Authors & Editors
Editors receive contextual ability to use the
Comment feature to invite experts to
comment on articles, and then can
collaborate with these experts to finalize
their comments, then “pin” them to the top
of comment threads.
Authors and editors are invited to update
users following articles.
Authors and editors can search for their
papers, and claim them to their profiles.
Remarq staff verify all claims.
