RS Global (Poland)

RS Global (Poland), formally RS Global Sp. z O.O., is a Polish company based in Warsaw that operates in the academic publishing sector. It is best known for its role as the founding support entity behind a group of scholarly journals established in Poland in 2017. These journals include the International Journal of Innovative Technologies in Social Science, the International Journal of Innovative Technologies in Economy, and World Science, each of which carries an e-ISSN and a DOI prefix associated with RS Global (10.31435/rsglobal_...). The company provided early development and historical publication activities for these titles, helping to establish their editorial infrastructure, metadata records, and digital presence. RS Global's publishing activities were concentrated in the social sciences and economics, with the journals offering open access under Creative Commons licensing. The company's operational involvement in the journals continued until 2024, when the editorial, operational, and technical management of the journals was transferred to SciFormat Publishing Inc., a Canadian entity. Since that transition, SciFormat Publishing Inc. has managed the journals' digital infrastructure, hosting, editorial workflow, peer-review coordination, DOI and metadata management, publication processes, and archive maintenance. The historical publication records associated with RS Global remain preserved within the journals' publication history, and the DOI prefix and OCLC numbers continue to identify the journals' scholarly record. RS Global (Poland) is registered in Warsaw and is distinct from the current operating publisher of the journals. Its legacy is primarily as a founding and early-stage publishing entity that helped launch and sustain several open-access academic journals. The company's website, rsglobal.pl, serves as its corporate presence, while the journals themselves are now hosted and managed by SciFormat Publishing Inc. in Canada. The transition reflects a common pattern in academic publishing where founding entities hand over operational control to specialized publishing platforms while preserving the scholarly record.

RS Global (Poland), formally RS Global Sp. z O.O., is a company registered in Warsaw, Poland. It emerged as a publishing and operational entity associated with several academic journals established in Poland in 2017. The company provided founding support for these journals, which include the International Journal of Innovative Technologies in Social Science (e-ISSN 2544-9435), the International Journal of Innovative Technologies in Economy (e-ISSN 2414-1305), and World Science (e-ISSN 2414-6404). Each journal was assigned a DOI prefix under the RS Global namespace (10.31435/rsglobal_...), and OCLC numbers were registered for their bibliographic records. During its active period, RS Global played an important role in the early development and historical publication activities of these journals. It helped establish the editorial workflows, peer-review processes, and digital infrastructure necessary for open-access publishing. The journals covered subject areas in the social sciences and economics, and were published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). The company's operational involvement included managing submissions, coordinating peer review, and maintaining publication records. In 2024, the editorial, operational, and technical management of the journals was transferred to SciFormat Publishing Inc., a Canadian company with a registered office at 2734 17 Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T3E0A7, Canada. Since then, SciFormat Publishing Inc. has managed the journals' digital infrastructure, hosting, editorial workflow, peer-review coordination, DOI and metadata management, publication processes, archive maintenance, and ongoing publishing operations. The continuity of publication, journal archives, metadata records, and DOI infrastructure continues to be preserved and maintained as part of the ongoing scholarly record. Historical publication records associated with RS Global remain preserved within the journals' publication history. The journals are now hosted on an Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, version 3.4.0.9, which is open-source journal management and publishing software developed by the Public Knowledge Project. The transition to SciFormat Publishing Inc. reflects a common pattern in academic publishing where founding entities hand over operational control to specialized publishing platforms while preserving the scholarly record. RS Global (Poland) remains a registered company in Warsaw, and its website, rsglobal.pl, serves as its corporate presence.
