Our technical philosophy
XML-First Structure for Longevity and Flexibility
Single source publishing is at the heart of River Valley’s processes. Our system delivers an absolute guarantee of fidelity between all formats. This means publishers can publish their XML and nothing else and PDFs can be created on the fly and in real time, as requested by readers.
Independent, Future-Proof Solutions
Our platforms are built independently from the ground up, with zero reliance on proprietary third-party software. This includes our custom pagination engine, created with open-source software to ensure security and adaptability for our clients.
Content Designed for Accessibility
We believe in “born accessible” content. Our platforms generate content in multiple formats, including on-demand PDFs designed for accessibility—serving users with visual impairments or dyslexia with optimized layouts.
User-Friendly and Mobile-Ready Platforms
All of our platforms are designed to be intuitive, responsive, and fully optimized for tablets and mobile devices. Whether users are on desktop or mobile, our systems provide a seamless, easy-to-navigate experience.

Head of Content Services, The IET
"RVPublisher is a sophisticated XML/MathML content editing system that allows the editorial staff of Physics to rapidly create, update, and publish articles with a push of a button while maintaining tight deadlines and without concern about the underlying markup. Working with RVT, we have been able to finely tailor the system to our very specific technical requirements and workflow."
Chief Information Officer, American Physical Society
"We are delighted that this most recent integration between submission systems extends the options available to authors of scientific papers. The transfer of manuscripts into and out of bioRxiv is an immensely popular feature of the server and it has been a pleasure to work with River Valley’s team to bring the underlying technologies to even more journals."
Co-founder, BioRxiv
"The implementation of ORCID’s review functionality in River Valley’s platform gives reviewers an easy way to get credit for their work, while retaining full control of what they want uploaded to ORCID. Thanks to River Valley for setting up this integration."
Former Director of Community Engagement & Support, ORCID
"In our seven years of pushing the boundaries of scientific publishing, our biggest frustration has been trying to work around legacy publishing obstacles. Working with River Valley Technologies – with their state-of-the-art, forward-thinking platforms – will finally allow us to put all our new ideas into practice."
