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

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.

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.

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.
