Scholastica is a web-based software platform for managing academic journals with integrated peer review and open access publishing tools.

History[edit]

Scholastica was founded in 2012 by Brian Cody, Rob Walsh, and Cory Schires, who met while graduate students at the University of Chicago.[1].

Product[edit]

Scholastica offers two main products: Peer review software and Open Access publishing software. Scholastica has over 500 journal customers [2] including journals in the humanities, social sciences, and STEM, as well as student-run law reviews.[3]

Academic Publishing[edit]

In March 2016 Discrete Analysis, an arXiv overlay journal launched by Fields Medalist Sir Timothy Gowers, started using Scholastica for both Peer review and Open Access publishing. [4]
