For publishers

Publishing should belong to publishers

Don’t let vendors dictate your author experience. Or trap the integrations you need in roadmap purgatory.

Reclaim control over the user journeys, workflows, and tech investments that define how authors publish with you.

What ChronosHub gives you

Freedom to choose tools you want

With ChronosHub, it’s shockingly easy to test, adopt, and swap out vendors. See what the market has to offer without six-month development cycles.

Stability as well as progress

No costly migrations here. Your PRS and the other core systems you depend on stay put. You just connect better tools around them.

Unified UX across your stack

Whatever sits behind the scenes, authors get one consistent experience from journal discovery through to post-acceptance.

Insights your PRS was sitting on

Record of author behavior and journal performance, drawn from actions across your portfolio. The data was always being generated. Now you can use it.

Publishing doesn’t need more walled gardens

Everywhere you look, technologies are emerging that promise great things for scholarly publishing: rock-solid submission safeguards; an end to crushing editorial admin; more intuitive author journeys.

Yet many vendors are responding by locking innovations in closed ecosystems.

We believe that’s the wrong path to take. From peer review to citation record, research has always advanced through openness.

That’s why we built ChronosHub to strengthen publishers’ autonomy, not diminish it. So you can access the best tools out there, while staying free to adapt as the industry evolves.
