Pro-Metrics

Pro-Metrics is a private, independent academic publisher headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with an international reach. It was founded in 2020 under the name ColNes Publishing and relaunched in 2023 under its current Pro-Metrics identity. The publisher describes itself as a multidisciplinary publishing space that combines academic rigor, editorial innovation, and a strong commitment to transparency. Pro-Metrics publishes a portfolio of peer-reviewed scientific journals, book series, and academic monographs spanning all areas of knowledge. Its editorial output is concentrated in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, giving it a distinctly Ibero-American and multilingual orientation. Titles in its portfolio include the Iberoamerican Journal of Science Measurement and Communication, AWARI, Social Sciences in Brief, DecisionTech, Advanced Notes in Information Science, and Contemporary Biomedical Research. Its book list includes monographs and edited volumes such as Incertidumbre en el Aprendizaje y el Conocimiento, Exploring the Nexus Between Structure, Properties and Applications in Graphene Conductors, and Scientometric Perspectives on Biomedical Research. Open access is a core principle of the publisher's mission. All of its journals are published under open models, and most of its books are also available in open access depending on the publication model agreed with each author or institution. Content is subject to peer review under transparent arbitration models and in accordance with Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. The company states that its management does not interfere in editorial decisions, preserving the academic independence of each publication. Pro-Metrics does not receive public funding. Its operations are supported by article processing charge (APC) payments for journals and books, the sale of academic titles, and the provision of specialized publishing services. Its audience includes researchers, academic institutions, graduate students, conference organizers, and professionals seeking to disseminate their work in an international setting. Beyond publishing, Pro-Metrics offers author services such as English and Spanish language editing, EN↔ES translation, translation with editing, and iThenticate-based similarity check reports. It also provides full publishing packages under the Pro-Metrics imprint — including peer review coordination, editorial guidance, copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, cover design, DOI and ISBN assignment, open-access publication in PDF/EPUB, optional print-on-demand, global distribution through content aggregators and library channels, and legal deposit and archiving in Estonia. For universities, research centers, and sponsors, it offers institutional and sponsored editions, including co-branded editions and institutional book series. It additionally offers editorial production services without using the Pro-Metrics imprint, for clients who want their own imprint but require professional-quality production.
