History

The Winnower was founded by Dr. Joshua Nicholson. It went live on May 27, 2014 with a primary focus of publishing scientific research, but has expanded its scope to include a diverse set of topics spanning the humanities, social sciences, science policy, and professional commentaries, to name just a few. As of April 2016 it has over 1,000 publications from 4,500+ authors around the world.

Post-publication Peer Review

The Winnower is a journal that offers post-publication peer review.[13] After submission, the paper is immediately made visible online, and is open for public, non-anonymous reviews by registered members of The Winnower community. Articles can be revised indefinitely until the author chooses to "freeze" a final version and purchase a digital object identifier.
