Scilight Press, founded in 2019 in Melbourne, Australia, is a rapidly growing international academic publisher dedicated to building a new generation of scholarly communication platforms that are open, trustworthy, and efficient. We publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research across disciplines, bringing reliable knowledge to light and to the world. By combining rigorous editorial standards with innovative digital publishing workflows, we help authors share their work faster, reach broader audiences, and create lasting impact. We are committed to transparency, integrity, and collaboration, connecting researchers, institutions, and academic communities across borders. Our mission is to make scholarly publishing more inclusive, responsive, and impactful—so that trustworthy research can be discovered, shared, and built upon without unnecessary barriers.
Scilight Press operates through a globally integrated office network. The Melbourne office primarily oversees business strategy, publishing and distribution, legal and financial matters, and resource integration, while offices in Beijing, Wuhan, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanjing, and Hainan (China), as well as in London (UK), focus on journal management, production, marketing, and network technology support. This complementary division of responsibilities enables Scilight Press to align strategic planning, publishing operations, and technical infrastructure across regions.
As of October 2026, Scilight Press employs a global team of 50 professionals. Over 98% of team members hold a master’s degree or higher and have a background in scientific research, while more than 90% have extensive experience in open-access publishing. This combination of academic insight and publishing expertise allows us to understand the needs of researchers and deliver high-quality, reliable publishing services.
All editors at Scilight Press are dedicated to providing exceptional service to researchers, ensuring a seamless publication process from submission through peer review, production, and dissemination. With scholarly sensitivity and operational rigor, our editorial team helps authors navigate every stage of publication with clarity, efficiency, and confidence.
Business Model
Scilight Press publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed journals under a Gold Open Access model, ensuring that scholarly research is immediately and freely accessible to readers worldwide. To support the growth and development of these journals, Scilight has established tiered article processing charge (APC) standards for each journal, aligned with our strategic goals and the distinct needs of each publication. Revenue generated from APCs plays a crucial role in ensuring Scilight’s long-term sustainability. For detailed information on APCs, please refer to the specific regulations for each journal.
Our primary goal is not to maximize profits. We are committed to a mission-driven, sustainable publishing model: as long as our revenue covers our expenses, we can maintain long-term sustainability. Any surplus funds are reinvested into the business to support the publication of more academic papers, enhance publishing services, and contribute to knowledge advancement and academic discourse.
Scilight provides journal publishing services to associations, universities, and scientific research institutions. We work with partners to develop high-quality, open, and trustworthy scholarly publications that serve their communities and advance research.
