Happy authors and delighted publishers

Excellence in technology and services for publishers since 2004

Exeter Premedia Services Private Limited, the parent company of Kriyadocs, was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Chennai, India. Our core philosophy revolves around providing a fantastic experience to authors, resulting in superior experiences for our clients—the publishers—and all our stakeholders. With 20 years of experience, we continue to offer reliable and innovative solutions in the publishing sector.

Who we are

At Exeter Premedia Services, we provide our end-to-end scholarly publishing ecosystem, Kriyadocs, for academic, professional, and scholarly publishers. We also provide a wide range of end-to-end digital publishing services. We are a process-driven organization and are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013 certified.

We have partnered with prestigious publishing houses across the world for over 20 years and delivered world-class, publication-ready digital & print content by applying cutting-edge technology, streamlined processes, and extensive domain expertise.

With a vision to make publishing all content as simple as clicking a button, we built Kriyadocs as a comprehensive document workflow management platform for journals, books, and abstracts supported by publishing experts.

Our peer review and production platforms bring all the stakeholders together to get work done. Our platforms are supported by professional services such as copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, indexing, design, project management, and more. Authors are the central keystone of the whole publishing process. It is the author’s ideas and thoughts that eventually take the shape of a journal article or a book that can then be shared with the rest of the world. This sharing of knowledge is how humanity has progressed and grown over the centuries.

The author has already invested several months and even years of research and hard work in creating their manuscript and eagerly awaits the publishing process to be completed so that the fruits of their labor can now be distributed to a larger community.

Kriyadocs puts the author firmly at the center of the publishing workflow and ensures that all key touchpoints are intuitive and hassle-free to accelerate the manuscript’s journey from submission to publication.

Making publishing simpler
and more efficient

Our vision

To make publishing all content as simple as clicking a button and become the partner of choice for individuals and organizations looking to share knowledge.

Our mission

To provide a fantastic experience to authors, content publishers, and our own employees through technology and innovation by publishing high-quality content seamlessly and quickly.

Our purpose

To enable the creation, collaboration, and distribution of ideas to facilitate the evolution of the human race. It is with this purpose that we continuously strive to add value to the publishing ecosystem by empowering people, enriching processes, exploring challenges, exchanging expertise, and enhancing accessibility.

Our journey

The publishing lifecycle is riddled with intricate touchpoints that often end up frustrating authors and publishers because a lot of their time and efforts are spent on a convoluted cycle of chores – formatting issues, version changes, status tracking, email volleys, approval delays, repeated follow-ups, and more.

We felt there had to be a better way to make publishing simpler and easier. It is with that goal that we huddled our best minds and built Kriyadocs as a comprehensive document workflow management platform for journals, books, and abstracts supported by publishing experts. Our peer review and production platforms bring all the stakeholders together to get work done. Our platforms are supported by professional services such as copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, indexing, design, project management, and more.
