(Scientific) publishing with Crius Group
As a publisher, you are only concerned about one thing: bringing relevant content to the market quickly in a way that appeals to your reader. A process with many links in which several parties participate. Making the right choices and surrounding yourself with parties who really understand your market is therefore very important. Crius Group is an expert in this and goes much further than just doing the layout of the pages. And that brings many advantages!

Publisher are only concerned with one thing: bringing relevant content to the market quickly in a way that appeals to your reader. This process consists of many links in which several parties participate: authors, editors, compositors, printers and of course the online platforms. It is therefore important to make the right choices and to surround yourself with parties who really understand your market and its techniques. Crius Group is fully versed in this and goes much further than just doing the layout of the pages. And that brings many advantages!
Extensive DTP department with a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of books and magazines
Crius Group exists for over thirty years and has always been involved in the layout of scientific books and magazines. Our company has dozens of DTP employees with a lot of experience in this field. Are you curious how we do this? A good example of this is the case of Brepols publishers. Or does the combination of print and digital appeal to you? Then the story of Notariaat Online will certainly interest you!
Knowledge of processes and standards
Partly due to the more important role of online publishing, it is significant to organize your entire chain as optimally as possible. Knowledge of ICT is very valuable in this regard. Crius Group has its own IT department and also advises on which workflow best suits your publishing company or imprint. We are happy to call on our knowledge of standards in the market. For example, we developed a workflow based on JATS XML in which the assignment of DOIs (Digital Object Identifier) plays an important role.
Total unburdening
As mentioned, Crius Group is more than just a typesetter. In addition to page layout and technical knowledge, we also have an editorial team located at two locations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Our editors can guide the entire process and, where necessary, dot the 'i' themselves. Of course you choose yourself, but in this way we can completely unburden you.
Competitive Pricing
Of course costs are important. But a competitive model consists of more than a low page price or competitive hourly rate. By streamlining the whole thing and making the right choices in the field of digital publishing, there is also a surprising amount of benefit to be gained in another way.
For and by publishers
Crius Group is more than a supplier and really sees publishers as its partners. We can also make this concrete. For example, we recently concluded a far-reaching collaboration with Amsterdam University Press, in which we have attached two editors with many years of experience. And we are still expanding this team 'as we speak'.
But that's not all. We immerse ourselves in the sector and are always at the major publishing fairs such as Frankfurter Buchmesse and The London Bookfair. And... we also organize our own Crius Update Live publishing conference every year.
