Lyubomir Penev

Lyubomir Penev is the Managing Director and Founder of Pensoft Publishers. Having graduated in Biology at the University of Sofia, he also holds a Ph.D. in Ecology at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. Currently, he is Professor of Ecology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia. His main fields of interest are methodology and software development for biodiversity research and environmental assessment, biogeography, landscape and urban ecology and entomology. Penev is the author of BIODIV, one of the first specialized software for biodiversity research (Exeter Software, New York, 1991) and one of the first computerized bibliographies, CARLIT & CARRUS (1993). Penev has published more than 100 scientific papers and coauthored or co-edited 8 books. He has participated in several international research projects as expert in publication and dissemination of scientific information.

In 1992, Penev established and successfully developed Pensoft to become one of the world’s leading biodiversity publishers with more than 1000 book and e-book titles published to date. In 2008, Penev founded Pensoft's first open access journal ZooKeys. With ZooKeys and its following journals, Penev has chosen the path of cutting-edge innovation for Pensoft leading the company to be one of the pioneers and best-known names in the fields of semantic publishing. In 2013, Pensoft launched the first ever, end-to-end, online, XML-based publishing solution, that that supports the full life cycle of manuscripts, from authoring to peer-review, publication and dissemination. The workflow was demonstrated by the Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) and the Pensoft Writing Tool (PWT), now upgraded to the ARPHA Journal Publishing Platform.

In his free time Penev enjoys horse riding, skiing, folklore art and music, and restoration of Bulgarian Renaissance houses.
