Who We Are

OAE Publishing Inc. (OAE) is a multidisciplinary open-access publishing company. It was founded in Los Angeles, USA, on March 17, 2015, with the shares held by the Mesa Investment Management Inc. Through continuous capital investment, we are striving to achieve the great mission of "constructing a scientific and standard publishing process, building a more open and transparent publishing ecology in combination with the thought of big data, publishing influential academic journals and books, disseminating valuable academic content, and promoting scientific innovation".

To better adapt to the development of globalization, we have successively set up offices in Xi'an and Beijing, China. The Los Angeles Office is mainly responsible for publication and distribution, legal and financial affairs, and resource integration, while the two offices in China are mainly in charge of editing, producing, marketing, and network technology support. As of July 2020, the company has 52 employees worldwide, over 98% of whom have a master's degree or above and a background in scientific research, and more than 70% of whom have rich experience in open-access journal publishing. Through continuous publishing skill training and the establishment of standard process flows, OAE has built a professional publishing team, laying a good foundation for publishing excellent academic journals.

With regard to the construction of the publishing platform, we have invested $1.5 million in developing a digital publishing platform that is compatible with PC and mobile terminals. With big data and cloud storage technology integrated into this platform, it can transparently display each time node and the person in charge of an author's manuscript during the publishing process, the data on clicks and downloads after the publication of the manuscript, the citations in third-party journals (Crossref), and comments by readers so that the authors can timely learn about the feedback to published articles while readers can select the articles they require, thus enhancing scholars' supervision on the publication ethics of articles. To improve the standardization, scientificity, and timeliness in publication, we have developed the MESAS system, an all-in-one manuscript processing system with independent intellectual property rights. All Editors who handle manuscripts on the MESAS system strictly follow the ethical norms and editorial guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). For manuscript processing flows, it has the functions of ethical norm review, academic misconduct review, license to publish, peer review, Editor decision, English language editing, copy editing, format conversion, proofreading, various text output (e.g., PDF and XML), etc. The link between "MESAS system--ORCID" makes all scholars more convenient to log on to the system directly using their ORCID accounts when contributing or reviewing manuscripts. All records will be preserved in details by ORCID to help scholars prove their academic contributions.

All journals of OAE are published in the mode of Gold Open Access. To get more academic ideas from researchers, OAE invites experts to visit OAE offices (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/cdr.70) and encourages in-house Editors to talk with scholars (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/jcmt.48) or to attend international conferences (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/index.130). What's more, OAE supports offline Editorial Board Meetings (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/hr.128) etc. OAE further reached a consensus with scholars on the orientation, publication scope, Editorial Board teams, publication policies, hot topics, publicity policies of launching and developing journals during these face-to-face communications.

The journals of OAE include Ageing and Neurodegenerative Diseases (AND), Artificial Intelligence Surgery (AIS), Chemical Synthesis (CS), Cancer Drug Resistance (CDR), Complex Engineering Systems (CES), Disaster Prevention and Resilience (DPR), Intelligence & Robotics (IR), Hepatoma Research (HR), Journal of Cancer Metastasis and Treatment (JCMT), Journal of Translational Genetics and Genomics (JTGG), Mini-invasive Surgery (MIS), Metabolism and Target Organ Damage (M&TOD), Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation (NN), Plastic Aesthetic Research (PAR), Rare Disease and Orphan Drugs Journal (RDODJ), Soft Science (SS), The Journal of Cardiovascular Aging (JCA), Vessel Plus (VP), etc. As of June 2021, we have published 3,163 papers and 178 Special Issues on hot topics in various disciplines. These articles have obtained 16,935,954 views and 1,607,662 downloads through various channels, such as social media (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hepatoma-research/) and conferences (https://www.oaepublish.com/vp/partners).

The OAE concept "integrity, rigour, scientificity, innovation and coordination" is recognized by many renowned experts in different academic fields. As of June 2021, about 1200 distinguished scholars from famous universities and research institutions have been involved in OAE's 30 journals, including Professor Godefridus J. Peters (https://www.oaepublish.com/cdr/editor), former president of EORTC-PAMM in Italy; Professor Zhifeng Ren (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/ss.212), a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors; Professor Daniel Scherman (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/rdodj.202), the corresponding member of the French National Academy of Pharmacy; Professor Bao-Lian Su (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/cs.177), a member of the European Academy of Sciences; Professor Sang-Hoon Ahn (https://www.virology-education.com/sang-hoon-ahn-md-phd/), the president of the Korean Liver Cancer Association; Jia Fan (http://casad.cas.cn/sourcedb_ad_cas/zw2/ysxx/smkxhyxxb/201711/t20171129_4625064.html), an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Also, the professional publishing of OAE has been recognized by authoritative organizations in publishing industries. In June 2018, the MESAS system was integrated with ORCID technology in function, which won all five accreditation badges (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/index.125); In May 2019, OAE became a member of COPE (https://publicationethics.org/); In December 2019, OAE became a member of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM) (https://www.oaepublish.com/news/index.127).
