About us

We are a small open-access academic publisher and publishing services provider, dedicated to supporting marginal, emerging, and highly specialised areas of research.

WT – Wisethorough Services provides editorial, technical, and publishing support for open-access scholarly communication. Active in academic publishing since 2014, WT supports journals and books through workflow development, metadata and DOI management, XML/JATS production, and platform implementation, working collaboratively with editorial teams and publishers across disciplines.
Based in Portugal, WT operates as a proximity-based service provider, contributing to the development of the Lusophone academic publishing and open science ecosystem.

Through WT/UC – Wisethorough / Urbancreativity, we aim to fill gaps in existing academic collections by offering distinctive, in-depth scholarly content. We specialise in building and nurturing research communities, particularly in the arts, design, architecture, and the social sciences.
We prioritise personal relationships, direct communication, and carefully tailored publishing processes. Each project is developed in close collaboration with its academic community, ensuring attention, care, and contextual sensitivity. Visit our publications and get to know our editorial teams.
