about us
PSI is an independent company, which enables libraries, publishers and membership societies to work together securely and confidentially towards the common goals of facilitating legitimate access to scholarly content, providing reliable data through the interrogation of IP addresses, combating cybercrime and working towards the long term sustainability of open access publishing.
PSI is the developer of theIPregistry.org, PSI Metrics and IP-intrusion.org.

With theIPregistry.org publishers and libraries can save time and streamline processes, eliminate errors, improve the reliability of usage metrics, and ensure the right content is accessible to the right users.
​
With PSI Metrics publishers can access accurate and auditable usage metrics drilled down to the exact organisations accessing content.

With IP_Intrusion.org publishers and libraries can join the community driven fight against cybercrime. Libraries can download the PSI block list from their profile page on theIPregistry.org.
PSI is the brainchild of two veterans of the publishing world who hold over 50 years of STM publishing experience.
It was while working for major publishers that they recognised a number of problems facing the industry that could only be overcome through communication, collaboration and innovation.
PSI now finds itself in a unique position to facilitate cooperation among the various stakeholders of the academic library and publishing world for the benefit of the whole community.

Our Services
Publishers can enhance their customer data by deduplicating and enriching it with the fully auditable data within theIPregistry.org.
Publishers and libraries can leverage the power of the PSI Org ID to keep data synced correctly. The PSI Org ID is used to identify unique organisations and remove the ambiguities, that exist between those with similar names.
​
TheIPregistry.org is a single repository that contains over 1.5 billion verified IP addresses for over 78,000 content licensing organisations worldwide.
The data is fully auditable and accessible by both publishers and libraries and maintained for the benefit of the whole scholarly communication community.
