Authorea, the online collaborative platform for researchers, has acquired The Winnower, a pioneering research publisher that offers advanced publishing tools to individual authors.
With the acquisition, Authorea seeks to enhance the foremost online platform for researchers to write, cite, collaborate, host data, and publish all in one place. The acquisition follows a financing round led by Lux Capital and joined by Bloomberg Beta, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, TechHammer, ff Venture Capital, and New York Angels.
The Winnower, founded by Dr. Joshua Nicholson in 2014, is a leading publisher of preprints and grey literature - outputs that are often overlooked by traditional publishers.
