Extrica

What Extrica does

Extrica, operated through the Lithuanian legal entity JVE International, UAB (registered in Neringa, Lithuania), is an open access scientific publisher serving academic researchers in science and engineering disciplines. Its portfolio includes 7 journals — most prominently Journal of Vibroengineering (JVE), Journal of Measurements in Engineering (JME), Mathematical Models in Engineering (MME), and Vibroengineering Procedia (VP) — together with the VIBROENGINEERING conference series, a book series, and expert scientific language editing services. The Extrica Manager platform is the self-serve backbone of operations, supporting manuscript submission, editorial screening, single-blind peer review, plagiarism checking via Turnitin/iThenticate, papermill detection via Clear Skies, proofreading coordination, and post-publication article statistics (views, reads, downloads, citations), with ORCID-based authentication.

The business runs on a unit-priced, self-serve product-led model. Revenue streams include article processing charges (APCs) invoiced to authors upon acceptance, conference registration fees for the VIBROENGINEERING series, per-manuscript language editing at 250–350 EUR, annual print journal subscriptions to libraries (priced 25–35 EUR per issue plus worldwide delivery), and book sales. Distribution is anchored by indexing agreements with Elsevier (Scopus/EI Compendex), Clarivate (Web of Science), EBSCO, Google Scholar, Crossref, Dimensions, CNKI, and WanFang Data, with OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting enabling further discoverability. Infrastructure is built on Microsoft Azure, with Stripe handling payments and GDPR-compliant consent-based email marketing via Mailerlite and Klaviyo. The company operates with a 17-person team and discloses no external funding, parent, or subsidiary relationships, indicating an independently held micro-publisher.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Elsevier: Elsevier is a global incumbent publisher operating Scopus, EI Compendex, and a vast journal portfolio. Extrica relies on Elsevier's indexing infrastructure and competes for the same engineering and science author submissions.
• Springer Nature: Springer Nature publishes thousands of journals including open access titles (e.g., Nature Portfolio, BMC) and competes with Extrica for engineering and applied science authors while also providing an alternative venue.
• IEEE: IEEE is the dominant publisher in engineering and applied technology, including conference proceedings. It overlaps directly with Extrica's engineering and vibroengineering subject area at a much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Hindawi: Hindawi (now part of Wiley) ran a large-scale open access, APC-based journal portfolio with global author reach. Its model, indexed open access journals, and self-serve submission experience are highly comparable to Extrica.
• Frontiers: Frontiers operates an open access, APC-funded journal platform with strong scientific database indexing and a community-editor model. It directly mirrors Extrica's open access, indexed, peer-reviewed publishing approach.
• PeerJ: PeerJ publishes open access peer-reviewed journals across science and engineering using an APC or membership model, with self-serve submission and ORCID integration — comparable workflow and target author as Extrica.
• Copernicus Publications: Copernicus publishes open access peer-reviewed journals with strong indexing in scientific databases and conference proceedings, very close to Extrica's open access + conference proceedings combination.
• MDPI: MDPI is one of the largest open access scholarly publishers using an APC-based model with a broad, fast-growing journal portfolio. It is the most direct comparable to Extrica in business model, target author (academic researchers paying APCs), and self-serve submission workflow.

Emerging players

• Academic Journals (academicjournals.org): Academic Journals publishes a broad portfolio of open access, peer-reviewed journals across scientific disciplines, also funded by APCs. Comparable in business model and author segment to Extrica, though typically in different subject areas.

Others

• Clarivate: Clarivate maintains Web of Science and other citation indexes. Extrica depends on Clarivate's indexing for visibility, and Clarivate's editorial standards for index inclusion directly affect Extrica's author acquisition funnel.
