We exist to make open-access publishing faster, simpler, and genuinely useful — for the researchers who submit to us and the readers who rely on what we publish.
At NexQ Research Consortium, we focus on removing friction from scholarly publishing: an efficient peer-review process, realistic publication timelines, and a submission system that doesn't get in a researcher's way. Behind that experience is a genuine commitment to connecting scientists and researchers with the tools and support they need to make an impact.
We invest in technology deliberately, so that both authors and readers benefit as publishing tools continue to evolve. That same forward-looking approach extends to how we run our operations — we're working to build eco-friendly, sustainable practices into scholarly publishing as a matter of course, not an afterthought.
We aspire to be recognised globally as a publisher that puts the research community first — connected, empowered, and unrestricted by geography.
Our ambition is to grow into a genuinely global presence in scholarly publishing, with outreach and impact that reach researchers wherever they are. That means keeping the latest scientific findings freely accessible to everyone, not limited by where an institution is located or what it can afford.
Beyond open access itself, we want to help build a creative, connected research community — one that draws on sustainable practices and modern technology to encourage collaboration across disciplines and borders, and to help turn that collaboration into real solutions for shared global challenges.
Six principles guide how we operate day to day — from the way we handle a manuscript to the way we treat the people we work with.
We treat open access as a fundamental right, not a privilege — promoting fair, unrestricted access to research for everyone.
We balance speed with rigor, so timely findings reach readers without cutting corners on quality.
We invest in modern technology and tools, keeping our authors equipped with the best publishing platforms available.
Every interaction — with authors, reviewers, staff, and partners — is grounded in honesty, transparency, and fairness.
We pursue eco-friendly, sustainable publishing practices that reduce our footprint while growing our positive impact.
We see this as a two-way relationship — building an engaged community and genuinely listening to and acting on its input.
