Research publishing services, in the modern sense, trace back to the emergence of scholarly journals in the 17th century, with the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665) often cited as the first. Over centuries, this evolved into subscription-based academic publishing dominated by a handful of large houses.

The bigger shift happened in the early 2000s with the open-access movement — driven by initiatives like the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002) — which pushed research publishing away from paywalls and toward free, immediate public access. This gave rise to a new generation of open-access publishing services and platforms designed specifically around transparent peer review and broader visibility for researchers.

Newer platforms like femington continue that shift today, focusing on open-access journals across fields like AI, data science, and clinical research, with an emphasis on trusted, transparent peer review rather than just faster publication.
