Our head office is in Brighton, one of the UK’s leading digital hubs and the source of much of our talent. We work for publishers, publishing intermediaries, associations, institutions and scholarly societies in the UK, Europe and the US. Our clients include Oxford University Press, Nature Publishing Group, Taylor & Francis Group and McGraw-Hill Professional.

Our products

scolaris The award-winning integrated content platform Scolaris is our integrated content platform. Scholarly communication is moving fast under the impact of digital technologies and we’ve developed Scolaris to help our clients identify and profit from new opportunities and keep ahead of the curve. Scolaris integrates multiple content types including journals, ebooks, reference works and multimedia with minimal configuration. This enables you to take full and cost-effective advantage of synergies between different content types in a single platform. This integrated approach to digital content drives improved discoverability and usage and creates additional value for researchers. See our Scolaris brochure or go to: www.semantico.com/scolaris

Scolaris Linking Hub Link, discover, monetise The Scolaris Linking Hub makes federated search and related article linking across multiple platforms cost-effective, enabling you to link and monetise content from previously disparate sources. This simple, scalable way to link diverse content together across multiple sites brings significant benefits including opportunities to repackage and repurpose content into enhanced products; connected and contextualised content for up-selling and cross-selling; and longer user sessions, improved discoverability and SEO. See our Scolaris brochure or go to: www.semantico.com/linking-hub

Scolaris Reader Liberate your PDFs The Scolaris Reader is a browser-based PDF reader with DRM. It enables the delivery of rights-managed PDF ebooks through a variety of business models, including sale and rental. The Scolaris Reader liberates you from the constraints of generic PDF readers (such as Adobe Reader) that struggle to accommodate particular layouts or designs without significant compromise to content and user experience. The Scolaris Reader interface can be customised and publisherbranded as appropriate and fully supports XML metadata to aid full discoverability. See our Scolaris brochure or go to: www.semantico.com/scolaris-reader

The industry-leading access management system SAMS is a powerful, flexible and fully customisable authentication and access management system, built to handle the complex authentication and access issues created when students, academics and professionals access publisher platforms through institutional or personal subscriptions. SAMS supports all access models for journals, ebooks, reference works and directories across multiple devices. SAMS protects and grows digital revenues for more than 300 sites worldwide and processing over 50 million API requests per month. See our SAMS brochure or go to: www.semantico.com/sams
