InTech is a multidisciplinary Open Access publisher of books and journals covering the fields of Science, Technology and Medicine. Since 2004, we have published more than 1150 books with the aim of providing FREE online access to high-quality research, and we are helping leading academics make their work visible and accessible to diverse new audiences around the world.

Why is InTech different?

1. InTech is working to disseminate knowledge 

Open Access is changing the face of academic publishing. InTech offers an exciting opportunity to step into 21st century publishing. This is a world where there is enough space for everyone's ideas and where you can reach the broadest readership possible. 

This is a world in which you can attain higher visibility and greater impact than ever before.

2. InTech publishes mainly Open Access books

At InTech, books are catching up with journals in the Open Access publishing race, and InTech is becoming one of the biggest publishers today of Open Access scholarly books.

3. InTech helps create an archival literature for the field

It is not uncommon to see unpolished work, containing a clever idea, submitted at a workshop or conference.

Authors' scientific content is currently dispersed - it is difficult to find all work relevant to a given field collected together, and therefore it is difficult to obtain a rounded picture of research developments.

Through improved visibility to a global network of researchers, scientific "rough diamonds" - early-stage ideas - can be polished through incremental improvements. Incremental improvements like this, carried out by a virtual pool of researchers in one or more fields, can help to grow the number of publications resulting from an individual research effort.

The book format, our flagship publishing format, is different in scope as well as in length to scientific journals, and books - because of their size - allow the creation of a valuable review of specific fields, offering a plurality of ideas.

Without such collaborative efforts, good ideas can sink without trace.

4. InTech takes the personal approach

Our publishing processes are optimized for efficiency both through our technological platforms and our organizational work-flows, with the twin aims of shortening the time to publication and of maintaining the high quality of our publications.

However, we have not forgotten that the human touch is perhaps the most important element of all. At every step of the way, our dedicated staff - the Publishing Process Managers - guide our authors and editors through the process.

5. InTech is not only a publisher, InTech is a hub for scientists

InTech is a platform offering excellent resources for research. It connects traditional publishing with the opportunities afforded by new technologies. Through publishing with InTech, your work can enjoy worldwide reach, you can use our easy-to-use sharing tools and get a quick response from your colleagues worldwide. 

InTech offers a single place where you can publish your most significant research, a place where you can interact with scientists with an interest in your field in an intellectual and scientific environment.

6. InTech gives you the opportunity to develop and change as we develop and change, every day

InTech is breaking new ground in publishing since the publication of the work is just the beginning of the process. We value long-term relationships so we would very much like to keep the dialogue open once the publishing process is finalized. Why not continue our cooperation on a different project? Or take the next step and maybe apply for a reviewer or an editor? Contact us at publish@intechweb.org, we want to hear your idea so we can develop and change together.
