Who We Are
In a world that’s moving faster than ever, the availability, quality, and pursuit of knowledge is fundamental for personal, institutional, and national advancement.
Knowledge E helps institutions advance the quality of their research; move towards teaching excellence; upgrade library technology, services, and practices; advance scholarship through journal publication, management, and training. We work with higher education institutions, publishers, and scholars to solve our society’s most significant challenges, and achieve our vision developing ‘a more knowledgeable world’.
The publishing services division launched in 2016, and due to strong demand we have grown steadily ever since. We have worked with over 20,000 researchers from over 60 countries. Our globally recognized open access platform hosts publications from over 30 countries, and has over 2mn visitors a year, from 193 countries across the world.
Our Values





We are highly regarded, and not only one of the first open access publishers in the region, but also one of the earliest signatories to the UNs SDG Publishers’ Compact in the Middle East. A member of ALSPS and OASPA, we also work closely as a regional partner and ambassador for leading non-profit organisations promoting accessible, sustainable research (including Crossref and ORCID).
Our goal is to advance the democratisation of knowledge through the production and dissemination of globally accessible content in all countries and languages, by empowering researchers to produce, publish and promote their work. With 5 offices across the world, and a team of 29 different nationalities, we offer our clients a truly global understanding of the academic ecosystem, and we leverage our uniquely diverse insights to provide a wide range of solutions and services designed to help the development and dissemination of high-impact research.
