Strengthening Journals. Empowering Societies.
Caleo partners with academic societies to enhance their journals’ quality, reach, and sustainability — while your society retains full editorial and strategic control. We provide the infrastructure, expertise, and advocacy needed to compete globally, built around your goals and values.
Founded by Ali Şahin, a publishing professional who has worked with over 150 journals across disciplines and regions — from small society titles to high-impact international publications — Caleo combines the operational discipline of major publishers with the flexibility and personal attention of an independent partner.
Our track record includes helping more than 30 journals gain inclusion in Web of Science and over 25 in PubMed. As a council member of the European Association of Science Editors, Ali contributes to global best practices in scholarly publishing, ensuring that our clients benefit from the latest standards and developments.
We work closely with editors and society boards to design publishing strategies that improve visibility, streamline workflows, and meet indexing requirements. You choose the services you need — from complete editorial process management to targeted solutions such as production, hosting, or consultancy on specific challenges. We also negotiate competitive agreements with service providers on your behalf, ensuring the best balance of quality and cost.
Rather than fitting societies into a fixed publishing model, Caleo builds each partnership around your journal’s unique identity. We bring proven strategies, hands-on problem-solving, and a network of trusted providers to help you achieve your goals efficiently and on your terms. Every decision is made in collaboration, every process is transparent, and every success belongs to you.
