The Company of Biologists has selected Alchemist Engage, the activation layer of Hum’s audience and content intelligence platform, to deliver bespoke research experiences across its five highly respected journals.

By coupling Hum’s real-time intelligence engine with the Company’s century-long archive of multidisciplinary biology, the partnership will improve reader and author experience by surfacing razor-sharp article recommendations, spotlighting tailor-made calls-for-papers, and guiding authors toward the most relevant open-access routes.

Alchemist Engage transforms real-time usage signals into dynamic segments. The Company’s editorial teams will also benefit from deep content intelligence that will guide their future publishing strategies and the marketing teams will be able to test on-page recommendations, automate tailored outreach, and guide authors or reviewers through personalized journeys — all from the same dashboard, with results captured instantly for continuous refinement.

“As a not-for-profit publisher committed to advancing biology, we’re always looking for technology that helps researchers find, share, and build on great science,” said Kirsty McCormack, Technical Operations Director at The Company of Biologists. “Alchemist Engage lets us understand both our global audience and content corpus at unprecedented depth, and translate that understanding into meaningful, community-driven impact.”

“When deep audience signals meet rich subject metadata, publishers can move from insight to action in seconds,” added Richard Bennett, Chief Growth Officer at Hum. “We’re thrilled to help The Company of Biologists elevate discovery, accelerate submissions, and strengthen its foundational open-access mission.”
