Medical Journals Sweden AB (Sweden)

Medical Journals Sweden AB, which operates under the name MJS Publishing, is a Swedish academic publisher based in Uppsala. It was established in 2021 out of the shared editorial offices of its two owning societies: the Society for the Publication of Acta Dermato-Venereologica and the Foundation of Rehabilitation Information. The company describes itself as a dedicated open access journal publisher, committed to providing free access to all of its content without fees or registration requirements, and publishing content under Creative Commons licenses. MJS Publishing works closely with not-for-profit learned societies in a collaborative partnership. In this model, the societies act as the journal owners and retain complete control over editorial policies, appointments, the journal's objectives and scope, as well as its formats and structure. MJS Publishing supports each society and its editorial team, helping them comply with best practices and maintain high editorial standards. Its stated core values are personal service, open access, not-for-profit operation, and flexibility. The company brings over three decades of experience in academic publishing, drawing on the history of its founding societies' editorial operations. It specializes in offering tailored services to a diverse and expanding range of society-owned open access journals, empowering partner journals with full autonomy in managing their policies, finances, and operational workflows. Its approach is anchored in transparency and integrity, engaging closely with journal stakeholders — journal owners, editors, reviewers, and authors — to ensure a rigorous peer review process and the production of high-quality international research journals. As a not-for-profit publisher, MJS Publishing reinvests surplus funds for continuous enhancement in research and education. Its mission centers on maintaining the highest possible academic standards and facilitating the global exchange of knowledge. The company is headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden, and serves an international market of society-owned journals and their readerships.
