Overview

Founded in 1998, Forum Multimedia Publishing, LLC is an open access publisher that offers scientists the opportunity to publish their robust and insightful scholarship. Furthermore, we are committed to providing researchers with high-quality service to enhance the impact and visibility of their research by facilitating a smooth publishing experience.

In August 2023, Forum Multimedia Publishing became part of IMR Press and began publishing the journal European Cells & Materials (eCM, ISSN:1473-2262). In May 2025, Prof. Kelong Fan of the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, was appointed Co-Editor-in-Chief of eCM.

In October 2025, Forum Multimedia Publishing was formally separated from IMR Press and was established as an independent publisher. As of Volume 22, Issue 1 (2026), The International Journal of Whole Schooling (IJWS, ISSN: 1710-2146) is published by Forum Multimedia Publishing. 

In August 2026, the publisher officially established its China Representative Office, responsible for the academic promotion, brand development, and communication of eCM and IJWS in China. In the same month, the publisher participated in the 17th Annual Meeting of the Chinese Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (CAOS 2026) for the first time, actively engaging with experts and scholars in the field of orthopedics in China. This initiative further strengthened communication and collaboration with the Chinese academic community and enhanced eCM’s academic influence and brand recognition in China.
