Publication services cover the full editorial and production chain, from manuscript submission to editing to publication. Web services specialize in Open Journal Systems (OJS), the open-source scholarly publishing platform, covering everything from establishing a journal website and peer-review system to author submission, editing, publication, archiving, and indexing. Support services include editorial support, policy consulting, strategic priority setting for executive boards, editorial training, conference representation, and marketing. The company states that it became an early adopter of Open Journal Systems, transitioning multiple journals from traditional print to online platforms, and that it has over two decades of experience working within the OJS framework. Multimed hosts journals through Simon Fraser University Library on a secure, dedicated commercial-grade server. Its clients span various disciplines related to science and medicine, and its publications reach a global audience. Testimonials on its website come from clients such as the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists, and the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (IJTMB), sponsored by the Massage Therapy Foundation. As a small, privately held company, Multimed emphasizes personal relationships with its clients, agility in responding to technological concerns, and cost-effective service. It markets itself as an ideal partner for societies of all sizes seeking quality publications, offering a customized service model and an uncompromised commitment to its clients.
