Some of the magazines we partner with

Real-world knowledge for academic and professional audiences.

Founded in 2019, Coherent Digital is a small, experienced, global team. Our staff work across six continents and include twelve colleagues from Alexander Street.

We bring real-world knowledge to universities, governments, nonprofits, and corporations around the world. We preserve, document, distribute, and track items of social and research importance.

Why work with us?

A landmark edition built for libraries, researchers, and long-term value.

We work with publishers to create definitive scholarly versions of important publications: full backfiles, all media, future issues, dedicated portals, advanced end-user functionality, and special audience-tracking features.

1

A lasting scholarly edition

Create a landmark version of your publication for the ages, designed for teaching, research, discovery, and preservation.

2

Focus on your content

We distribute fewer than 50 magazines, so each publication receives real editorial, sales, and marketing attention.

3

New revenue streams

We monetize backfiles, future issues, and new media while creating pricing models that reflect institutional ability to pay.

4

Markets others miss

Our library-focused sales team reaches universities and institutions that are difficult for general consumer channels to access.

5

Brand amplification

Your publication appears in a beautiful dedicated portal with tools built for serious academic and professional use.

6

Impact intelligence

We show where your content is being cited, used, and applied by policy organizations, governments, universities, and NGOs.

Sales & marketing

A dedicated team selling to libraries and institutions.

Our sales and marketing team brings deep experience selling archival databases and scholarly content to libraries. We combine conference visibility, site visits, direct outreach, digital marketing, and an existing customer base of thousands of libraries.

  • 10 staff in sales and marketing
  • 30+ library conferences each year
  • 100 site visits per year
  • 230,000+ registered users
  • Thousands of library customers using our products

Pricing designed for institutional markets

Our team has been selling archival databases for more than 150 combined years. We use pricing models that reflect institutional ability to pay, maximize yield, monetize backfiles, and can be tailored to a publisher’s needs.

Specialist library tools

Built for discovery, accessibility, protection, and serious research.

Our platform supports the needs of libraries, researchers, and publishers with advanced search, accessibility, mobile-friendly access, multilingual support, and crawler protections.

Audience building

Expose your content to researchers already looking for it.

Your content can be discoverable to more than 230,000 registered users. When searches land on your material, users see a citation and their institution can be invited to subscribe. Individual users can also be directed back to your own website for direct subscriptions.

Research impact

Show where your journalism and analysis make a difference.

We track citations across 40,000 governments, IGOs, associations, think tanks, universities, and other organizations. We can show how your content is cited by topic, article, author, and organization.

“We can show you where your material is delivering real-world impact.”

Impact reporting can include:

  • Documents that cite your publication
  • Topics and themes where your work is used
  • Author- and article-level evidence
  • Institutional and geographic patterns
