Our story

Twelve years inside
scholarly publishing.

From reporting on the industry to shaping how journals change hands — and now to building intelligence for it.

2014 · The beginning

It began with the story of publishing.

JCF Corp was founded in 2014 as a media company for the publishing industry — following the people, journals and decisions that shape scholarly communication. Reporting on the industry gave us something rare: a clear view of how it really works.

Acquisitions & mergers

Where journals find their next home.

Our leadership built deep, hands-on experience in journal acquisitions, mergers and ownership transitions — work we continue to lead today. Over the years, JCF Corp has guided the transfer of 500+ journals, supporting owners, editors and successors through one of publishing’s most sensitive decisions.

A specialist in journal acquisition and transition — a field where very few firms work with this level of focus, discretion and professional discipline.

2017 · Publishing, together

From observers to publishers.

Since 2017, JCF Corp has published journals through selected collaborations. Across our publishing and editorial work, we have published and edited thousands of articles — learning, manuscript by manuscript, what makes research clear, credible and ready for readers.

The AI chapter

A new chapter: intelligence.

With the emergence of AI, JCF Corp has evolved into an AI services company dedicated to the scientific community and the scholarly world. Twelve years of industry knowledge now power tools that are practical, transparent and built for researchers.

Today

Knowledge about journals, worldwide.

Our tools and data analytics give researchers, publishers and institutions broad, clear knowledge about journals around the world — who publishes what, where, and how well. For more details about our products, write to products@jcfcorp.com.
