Scholastica was founded in 2012 by Brian Cody, Rob Walsh, and Cory Schires, who met while they were graduate students at the University of Chicago.[1] In May 2014, Scholastica acquired $510,000 in seed funding from investors.[2]
Scholastica offers three main products: a journal peer review management system, a single-source article production service, and an open access journal publishing platform with built-in analytics and archiving and discovery service integrations. Scholastica customers include journals in the humanities, social sciences, and STEM, as well as student-run law reviews.[3]
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]
Scholastica is a supporter of the open access movement. Scholastica has worked with open access advocates like Björn Brembs,[5] Ulrich Herb , Stevan Harnad and others to create open access resources[6] for the academic community.
Scholastica has been referenced by scholars including, Mark C. Wilson, as a software and service-based open access publishing option that could lower publishing costs by “at least 75% of current payments.”[7]
In February 2018, Scholastica launched a new typesetting service for open access journals that uses technology to generate HTML, PDF, and full-text XML articles from DOCX files.[8]
