IVES - International Viticulture and Enology Society

What IVES - International Viticulture and Enology Society does

IVES (International Viticulture and Enology Society) is a French not-for-profit association (registered under SIRET 839 985 843 00011) headquartered in Villenave d'Ornon, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, founded in 2016. The organization is dedicated to the dissemination of scientific research in viticulture and enology and operates a stack of three Open Access media under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license, with no author processing charges and no reader subscription fees. Revenue is generated through membership fees and partnership contributions from a network of 30+ institutional members (universities and research institutes) and 60+ private and high-visibility partners spanning major wine-producing geographies.

The three core products are: OENO One, a peer-reviewed international research journal launched in 2016, ranking among the world's leading viticulture and enology journals with a Clarivate Impact Factor of 2.9 (2023) and 500+ articles published cumulatively; IVES Technical Reviews, launched in 2020, a peer-reviewed technical journal that translates current research for industry end users and is published in six languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese); and IVES Conference Series, launched in 2021, which collates Open Access proceedings from major international conferences (GiESCO, Macrowine, Terclim, WAC-IVAS, the OIV World Congress, and others).

The organization is governed by a 9-member Executive Committee elected by the Board of Directors and a 15-member Board of Directors composed of researchers elected by the General Assembly. Roland Riesen serves as Chairman and Julien Dumercq as Director. The operational team of approximately 7 staff handles editorial, communications, and production roles across the three media. The GTM motion is community-led: IVES executes against a recurring calendar of annual meetings (rotating globally across France, Spain, USA, Portugal, and remote editions), conferences, and continuous recruitment of institutional and private partners, supported by a website, monthly newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and YouTube-hosted science meeting recordings.

Direct peers

• Copernicus Publications: Open Access publisher specializing in peer-reviewed scientific journals and conference proceedings with a society-publisher ethos. Directly comparable to IVES in combining journal publishing with conference proceedings dissemination under Open Access.
• American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV): Non-profit scientific society that publishes the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (AJEV). It is the closest analog to IVES: a member-supported publisher serving the global wine/grape research community with a flagship peer-reviewed journal.
• EDP Sciences: France-based Open Access scientific publisher jointly owned by learned societies. Like IVES, it serves society-driven Open Access publishing in STEM, with society journals and conference proceedings, making it a comparable operating model in the same European ecosystem.
• MDPI: Large commercial Open Access publisher with a portfolio that includes viticulture- and agriculture-relevant journals (e.g., Horticulturae, Plants, Beverages). MDPI is a direct model comparison for IVES's fee-free Open Access publishing in plant/agricultural sciences, though it charges APCs.
• Frontiers Media SA: Major Open Access academic publisher with journals spanning plant science, food science, and nutrition (e.g., Frontiers in Plant Science). Operates a large APC-funded Open Access model that competes for the same author pool as IVES's OENO One.

Broad incumbents

• Elsevier: Global academic publisher with a broad portfolio including agricultural and food science journals (e.g., Scientia Horticulturae, Food Chemistry). Represents the large-incumbent comparison for IVES, with overlapping journals in viticulture and enology research.
• Springer Nature: One of the largest academic publishers globally, with extensive Open Access journal and book programs in plant science, agriculture, and food science (e.g., BMC Plant Biology, Springer Agriculture journals). A broad incumbent that overlaps with IVES in Open Access scientific publishing.
• Hindawi (Wiley Open Publishing): Large-scale Open Access publisher (now part of Wiley) with broad coverage of agricultural, biological, and food science journals. Comparable to IVES as a high-volume Open Access publisher serving similar plant/agricultural science authors, though with a commercial APC-funded model.

Emerging players

• PeerJ: Open Access academic publisher focused on biological and life sciences with a membership-supported model. Comparable to IVES in emphasizing Open Access peer-reviewed publishing with a community-oriented ethos, though with a different subject focus.

Others

• International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV): Intergovernmental scientific and technical organization for the vine and wine sector. IVES is a publishing partner of OIV's World Congress of Vine and Wine (2026), making OIV a closely related organization in the same viticulture/enology ecosystem, though not a direct publishing competitor.
