The Winnower: An Interview with Josh Nicholson » Open@VT
pyoung's bookmarks 2013-12-04
Summary:
One participant in our faculty and graduate student panels during Open Access Week at Virginia Tech was Josh Nicholson, founder of a new open access journal, The Winnower.
Josh is a PhD candidate at Virginia Tech studying the role of the
karyotype in cancer initiation and progression in the lab of Dr. Daniela
Cimini. The Winnower
will serve the sciences, with sections for different disciplines as
well as a science and society section. The new journal will launch in
January or February, and is currently looking for beta testers. Some
buzz has already been created through a post on the AAAS blog and a Q&A, and The Winnower is active on Twitter and Facebook. Our e-mail interview occurred over several weeks. The questions and
answers below have not been edited, except to add an occasional link. I
have also grouped similar topics together, so the questions are no
longer in their original order.
