The Winnower Publisher

The Plugin is dependent on Piklist plugin. That is not exactly bad although standalone is expected. This plugin essentially publishes the whole post on their domain via API and add Creative Commons License without warning on WordPress side. Retrieving DOI needs separate paid membership on their website. These may not be known or understandable to a new WordPress user. 
Paid membership needed is not mentioned in description. Readme and on WordPress post page disclaimer is requested to add as soon as possible.
