International independent scholarly publisher De Gruyter is expanding its publishing service offering and has launched a new division to do so: Sciendo.
Sciendo provides specialised custom publishing services and solutions for third parties, especially academic and research institutions, societies, university presses, conference organisers and individual authors. In addition to services for journals and books - including open access - other allied services, such as self-publishing for individual authors or complete service packages for conference organisers, are offered as well.
Although Sciendo is a 100% subsidiary of De Gruyter, it will have a separate editorial team, a separate editorial policy, and its own production, marketing and distribution teams. However, Sciendo does share its approach to partnership and openness with its parent company, De Gruyter.
Sciendo has its roots in De Gruyter Open, De Gruyter's open access business, which in turn was born out of De Gruyter's acquisition of Versita in 2012. In 2017, De Gruyter integrated the peer-reviewed open access journals published by De Gruyter Open into De Gruyter operations and the publishing services business is now being relaunched as Sciendo.
Key Sciendo customers include the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing (University of Oxford), the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Charles University in Prague, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Teagasc (the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority, and the Swiss Sociological Association.
