Association of Science Editors and Publishers

The Association of Science Editors and Publishers (ASEP) is a Russian professional body that brings together editors, publishers, and specialists involved in scholarly and scientific publishing. It operates as a membership-based association rather than a commercial publisher, and its work centres on improving the quality of scientific journals, supporting editorial ethics, and representing the interests of Russian science editors and publishers. ASEP is known in the Russian scholarly communication community for organising conferences, seminars, and professional development activities, as well as for contributing to discussions on peer review, publication ethics, indexing, and the international visibility of Russian journals. Its website, rassep.ru, serves as the association's main information channel. The association is based in Russia and works primarily in the Russian-language scholarly publishing market, while also engaging with international trends in scientific editing and publishing. It is not a listed company and does not operate as a commercial brand in the conventional retail sense; it is a professional and sectoral organisation.

The Association of Science Editors and Publishers (ASEP) is a Russian professional organisation established to support and develop the community of scientific editors and publishers. It emerged in response to the need for a dedicated platform where editors of scholarly journals, publishing houses, and related specialists could exchange experience, discuss common challenges, and promote best practices in scientific publishing. ASEP's activities have focused on the Russian scholarly publishing sector, which underwent significant changes after the Soviet period as journals sought to modernise, adopt international standards, and increase their visibility in global databases. The association has contributed to these efforts by organising professional events, publishing methodological materials, and advocating for improved editorial practices. Over the years, ASEP has become a recognised voice in discussions about peer review, publication ethics, journal indexing, and the training of editorial personnel in Russia. Its website, rassep.ru, provides information about the association's events, members, and initiatives. The association continues to operate as a membership-based professional body, working to strengthen the quality and reputation of Russian scientific journals.

A Russian professional association for scientific editors and publishers, focused on editorial quality, ethics, and the development of scholarly publishing.
