Herbert Publications

Herbert Publications Ltd. is an academic publisher that operates under the HOAJ (Herbert Open Access Journals) banner. Its central activity is open-access scholarly publishing: it runs a portfolio of peer-reviewed international journals and provides an online submission system through which authors can prepare and submit manuscripts. The publisher describes its remit as spanning full and optional open access drawn from every subject area, positioning itself within the global movement toward freely accessible research literature. The visible journal portfolio is concentrated in the biomedical and life sciences. Titles include Biochemical Compounds, which covers the synthesis, characterization and analysis of biochemical substances, chemical composition and structure, metabolism and enzymology, molecular interactions and biochemical engineering; Cardiovascular System, devoted to research on the heart, blood and blood vessels, including cardiac anesthesia, congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease and therapeutic approaches; and Cell Signalling and Trafficking, focused on cell signalling pathways and intracellular trafficking, ligand-receptor interactions and molecular transport systems. Each journal publishes original research, reviews and case studies and maintains a current issue. The publishing operation is built on Open Journal Systems (OJS) version 3.4.0.10, the open-source journal management and publishing software developed, supported and freely distributed by the Public Knowledge Project under the GNU General Public License. This choice of infrastructure is typical of small and independent open-access publishers: it provides manuscript submission, peer review and online publication workflows without requiring proprietary systems. The site directs prospective authors to instructions for authors and to the online submission system, and notes that questions about individual journals and submissions should be directed to the site itself. Herbert Publications is recorded in Wikidata as a publisher. It is a private commercial publishing entity rather than a listed company, and its journals are marketed internationally to researchers, with article processing and open-access publication as the core offering. Because the publisher is small and specialized, detailed corporate information such as founding date, founder, headquarters address and ownership structure is not established in the available evidence and is therefore not asserted here.

Herbert Publications Ltd. is an academic publishing house that operates the HOAJ (Herbert Open Access Journals) platform at hoajonline.com. The available evidence does not record a founding date, founder or headquarters, so its early corporate history cannot be reconstructed from the supplied sources. What is documented is its function: it is a publisher, as recorded in Wikidata, and its public-facing activity is the operation of a suite of open-access, peer-reviewed international journals. The publisher's model is open access. Its site states that the HOAJ initiatives include full and optional open access drawn from every subject area, and it provides an online submission system together with instructions for authors. This places Herbert Publications within the broad wave of open-access publishing that expanded internationally from the 2000s onward, in which independent publishers host journals on shared open-source infrastructure and fund publication through article-processing charges rather than subscription paywalls. That infrastructure is Open Journal Systems. The site runs OJS version 3.4.0.10, described as open-source journal management and publishing software developed, supported and freely distributed by the Public Knowledge Project under the GNU General Public License. Adopting OJS gives a small publisher a complete workflow for submission, peer review and online publication, and it is a common choice for independent and society journals worldwide. The journal portfolio visible on the site is concentrated in biochemistry, physiology and cell biology. Biochemical Compounds is an open-access, peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to research on the synthesis, characterization and analysis of biochemical substances, covering chemical composition and structure, metabolism and enzymology, molecular interactions and biochemical engineering, and publishing original research, reviews and case studies. Cardiovascular System is devoted to research on the heart, blood and blood vessels, publishing studies on cardiovascular biology, pathology, pharmacology and engineering, with topics including cardiac anesthesia, congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease and therapeutic approaches. Cell Signalling and Trafficking focuses on cell signalling pathways and intracellular trafficking, including cellular responses to signalling mechanisms, ligand-receptor interactions and molecular transport systems. Each journal maintains a current issue and is presented to an international readership. Beyond these titles, the evidence indicates a broader catalogue spanning multiple subject areas, consistent with the publisher's stated ambition to cover every subject area through full and optional open access. The publisher remains active, with its journals and submission system accessible through its website. Because the entity is small and specialized, many conventional corporate details — ownership, executive leadership, financial status and precise founding information — are not established in the available evidence and are therefore left unstated rather than inferred.
