Siliconchips Services Ltd.

Academic Publishing Services for Journals and STM Publishers

Siliconchips Services is a leading academic publishing company dedicated to supporting the global research community. From our headquarters in London, UK, we provide comprehensive academic publishing services that help scholarly societies, university presses, and commercial publishers manage their content with precision.

Our focus is on enhancing the impact of research through high-quality journal publishing services and specialist STEM publishing services.

What Is Academic Publishing?

Academic publishing is the professional process of preparing, reviewing, and disseminating scholarly research and technical data. It is a critical component of the global knowledge economy, ensuring that scientific discoveries and academic theories are recorded accurately and made accessible to the world. As a specialist scientific publishing company, we understand that academic content requires a higher level of scrutiny and technical expertise than trade publishing. It involves complex peer-review cycles, intricate mathematical notation, and strict adherence to citation standards.

Our academic publishing services ensure that every piece of research we handle meets the rigorous standards expected by the international scientific community.

Journal Production Workflow

Managing a successful journal requires a robust and repeatable production cycle. Our journal publishing services are built on an efficient workflow that minimises delays and ensures consistent quality.

  • Manuscript Reception and Triage: We receive raw manuscripts from authors and perform initial checks for formatting compliance and technical completeness.
  • Editorial Management: Our team coordinates with peer reviewers and editors to move manuscripts through the approval process smoothly.
  • Technical Editing and Copy Editing: Specialist editors review the content for language clarity, technical accuracy, and adherence to specific journal style guides.
  • Typesetting and Composition: We use advanced tools to layout the pages, ensuring that complex data, tables, and formulae are presented perfectly.
  • Proofreading and Author Review: Proofs are generated for author approval, with all corrections managed through a centralised system to maintain version control.
  • Indexing and Metadata Creation: We generate the necessary metadata and indexing files to ensure the research is discoverable in major scholarly databases.
  • Final Distribution: We deliver the final assets in multiple formats, ready for print, online hosting, and digital archival.

Editorial and Typesetting Services

The core of our academic publishing services lies in our ability to handle high-complexity content that standard vendors often find challenging. We offer specialised editorial and typesetting solutions tailored for STM (Scientific, Technical, and Medical) publishers.

Our scientific publishing company specialises in LaTeX typesetting services. This is the industry standard for publications involving heavy mathematical and scientific notation. We also provide professional InDesign composition for humanities and social science journals where visual layout is a priority.

Our editorial teams include native English speakers who provide language polishing and technical editing, ensuring that research from non-native English authors meets the highest linguistic standards without losing its technical meaning.

XML and Digital Publishing

Modern research must be more than just a static PDF. It needs to be searchable, machine-readable, and future-proof. Our digital publishing solutions are built around an XML-first philosophy.

We specialise in the JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) and BITS (Book Interchange Tag Suite) XML schemas. By tagging content at a granular level, we ensure that your journals are ready for integration with platforms like PubMed, CrossRef, and various institutional repositories. This structural integrity also allows for the seamless creation of accessible PDFs and reflowable EPUBs, ensuring that your journal publishing services are inclusive and meet all modern accessibility requirements like WCAG 2.1.
