The State of the Publishing Industry

Large groups lack sufficient incentive, small institutions lack organizing capacity — a new entrant must offer an executable path.

Large Publishing Groups

Hold brands, database gateways and commercial revenue — with little incentive to disrupt the status quo.

Small Journals / Publishers

Feel the problems of the old system most keenly, but lack technology, editorial and submission-sourcing capacity.

POLYMAS Next-generation Publishing & Knowledge-network Initiative

From AI Native publishing to the PCM knowledge-evaluation system

The core responsibility of academic publishing is not to put papers into journals, but to put reliable, valuable, shareable and reusable knowledge into the public knowledge network.

Co-build the Next-generation Open Academic Publishing Network

If your journal or organization believes in long-term value, transparent processes and the academic community, POLYMAS is glad to work with you to turn these ideas into a visible, participatory and sustainably operated publishing platform.
