About Scholar Publishing
A UK-based open-access publisher advancing research across the sciences, social sciences and humanities. Publish your research with global visibility — rigorously reviewed, openly accessible, and permanently preserved.
Get to know Scholar Publishing
Scholar Publishing (Scholar Publishing UK) is an independent, United Kingdom–based open-access publisher committed to the worldwide dissemination of high-quality scholarly research. Founded in 2013, we began as a forum for research communication across multiple disciplines and have grown into a multidisciplinary publisher serving authors, reviewers, editors and readers around the world.
We publish a portfolio of international, peer-reviewed journals — together with scholarly books — spanning the social sciences, business and management, healthcare and medicine, engineering and computing, applied sciences, and agriculture and food sciences. Every article we publish is freely available online, immediately and permanently, so that knowledge is not held behind paywalls but shared with the researchers, practitioners and communities who can use it.
Working in partnership with research institutions, learned communities, enterprises and foundations, we support education and research development through professional publishing services, editorial support and international scholarly collaboration.
Our mission
To help researchers and their communities share their work with the world — by providing a world-class, UK-based, open-access publishing service built on rigorous peer review, editorial integrity and lasting accessibility.
Our vision
To accelerate progress in the basic, applied and interdisciplinary sciences by leading a transformation in research communication — one that is open, transparent and available to all.
