We work every day with thousands of universities, research centres and industrial companies, through relationships built over more than fifteen years in Southern Europe.
As the exclusive partner for Italy and Malta, Deanet manages the business of leading international publishers: IEEE, ASTM, SAE International, Accuris, IP.com (the platform with more than 120 million patents) and Bentham Science. In Spain we are the exclusive partner of SAE International.
With coverage of more than 2.5 million standards and regulatory documents, we give companies an internationally recognised body of information that meets the needs of an engineering sector that keeps growing more complex and keeps changing.
Our offer includes engineering standards, technical regulations and industrial component data, giving professionals and organisations the tools to tackle every stage of design, development and production with greater confidence.
Through access to reliable, up-to-date technical information from internationally recognised standards bodies, we help companies simplify document searches, ensure regulatory compliance, improve decision-making and speed up technological innovation.
Our goal is to turn the complexity of engineering information into a real advantage, helping to make industrial processes more efficient, safer and more competitive in a constantly changing global market.
We help publishers bring scientific literature to their readers online: from product presentation to negotiation, from contracts to user training, all the way to administrative and legal support.
Our core expertise
We develop and manage tailored projects across six strategic areas.
STEM subscriptions and e-books
Full-text access licensing for scientific publications in the academic and corporate sectors: journal and periodical subscriptions, perpetual purchases of specialist e-books and global agreements for Italian multinationals with offices abroad, with uniform access and centralised management.
Standards and technical regulations
Through access to engineering standards, technical regulations and industrial component data, we support companies and professionals in design, development and production, promoting regulatory compliance, operational efficiency and technological innovation.
Open Access models and transformative agreements
Among the first in Europe to work on transformative agreements, we negotiate Read & Publish contracts with university networks: unlimited full-text access and Open Access publishing for affiliated authors, under CC BY, CC BY-NC and CC BY-ND licences.
Gold & Hybrid APCs
Sale and management of Article Processing Charges for Open Access publication in Gold and Hybrid journals, with cost monitoring on behalf of institutions.
Training and digital assessment
Workshops, on-site seminars and online sessions on database search strategies, the publishing process and the use of AI tools for research.
Innovation and artificial intelligence
AI projects applied to publishers' full-text content. We help universities and companies integrate tools that understand query intent and drastically cut research time.
