About us!
VAPubs (PT Veritas Akademika Publishing) is an independent scholarly publisher focused on evidence-based knowledge dissemination through journals and academic book publishing, editorial governance and peer-review management, academic editing, and multilingual publication support. We work to ensure that every published manuscript meets standards of academic integrity, readability, and scholarly traceability, including disciplined metadata practices, consistent citation formatting, and interoperability readiness for DOI registration and indexing ecosystems. Our orientation is to build a credible pathway through which research can be understood, cited, and applied across academic, industry, and policy communities, without compromising scholarly rigor.
VAPubs’ philosophy begins with the principle that scientific truth must take precedence over affiliation and vested interests, consistent with the maxim “Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas,” which affirms an intellectual duty to side with truth. We also embrace the Enlightenment ethos of “Sapere aude” as a call for independent and responsible reasoning in knowledge production. Within this frame, publishing is not merely an output but a means by which knowledge becomes socially useful, aligned with Bacon’s idea that “knowledge itself is power,” insofar as knowledge is shared with validity and can shape decision-making.
We invite colleagues, scholars, doctoral researchers, and practitioner-academics to publish with VAPubs, where every manuscript is managed through a transparent, quality-assured editorial process that prioritizes scholarly rigor, clarity of argumentation, and international visibility. Authors are supported by structured pre-screening, ethics and compliance checks, similarity control, and constructive peer review, followed by careful editorial stewardship to strengthen theoretical contribution, methodological soundness, and practical relevance. Our publishing portfolio includes the Journal of Marketing and Emerging Technologies, the Journal of Business Strategy and Sustainability, and the Journal of Financial Technology and Innovation, alongside additional titles spanning humanities and social sciences, medicine, business and management, and information systems. We welcome submissions that are conceptually grounded and empirically credible, offering original insights that can be reliably cited, efficiently discovered, and meaningfully applied by both academic and professional communities.
