Scholastica is more than just a publishing platform, it's also a community of scholars. In a section of the site called The Conversation, academics the world over are encouraged to ask and answer questions, which can be ranked by other members for reputation points. People with higher reputations come up earlier when journals search for expert reviewers. "With Scholastica, we obviously wanted to give scholars the power to distribute knowledge, instead of these monolithic publishing companies," says Co-Founder and Designer Rob Walsh, "but we also wanted the place where ideas are published to be the same place knowledge is discussed – more mirroring the academic ideal."
