Welcome to SunlitPub
Founded in Hong Kong in 2026, Sunlit Grove Publishing is an independent academic publisher founded on a simple belief: rigorous scholarship should be widely accessible, carefully curated, and openly shared.
We publish peer-reviewed journals in the natural sciences and open-access books in the humanities and social sciences—two publishing programmes that reflect our commitment to both scientific advancement and intellectual diversity. Although these disciplines rarely coexist within the same publishing house, we believe meaningful scholarship flourishes through dialogue across fields.
Our name, Sunlit Grove, reflects this philosophy: a place where ideas from different disciplines grow together under the shared values of openness, integrity, and academic excellence.
Sunlit Grove is led by experienced publishing professionals with extensive backgrounds in international scholarly publishing. Our team has worked across journal development, editorial strategy, peer review, author services, and publishing operations, supporting researchers, editors, learned societies, and academic institutions worldwide. These experiences have shaped our commitment to delivering a publishing experience that is professional, transparent, and author-centred.
Based in Hong Kong, we work with researchers, editors, and institutions across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. We combine international publishing standards with responsive editorial support, helping scholarly work reach the widest possible audience through open access, rigorous peer review, and long-term discoverability.
As a Crossref member, Sunlit Grove Publishing assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to all published content, ensuring persistent identification, reliable citation, and global discoverability.
