Editor & Society Area

Why publish with us?

• We believe that every journal is unique and deserves the expert care that only a specialist society journal publisher can provide. We have published learned journals continuously since 1798 and are dedicated to facilitating and improving scholarly communication. We now publish journals in association with 340 society and university partners worldwide, from a network of 20 global offices including Philadelphia, Oxford, Melbourne, Stockholm, Beijing, New Delhi, Johannesburg and Singapore.
• Our strengths reflect the needs and goals of our partners: reliable, high-quality and cost-effective journal production. Our friendly and communicative staff will tailor their service to your requirements, whilst our size and expertise allow you to benefit from new technologies and economies of scale.
• Integrated online publishing with informaworld^TM: Our state-of-the-art platform features articles in PDF and HTML formats, rich reference linking, e-before-print publication through iFirst, next-generation functionality such as intuitive searches and RSS feeds, and a fully electronic publication process from article submission to final publication.
• Optimizing access within your research community: We complement market-leading renewal rates with online sales deals that make content available in up to 7,500 research libraries worldwide. We continue to develop new sales channels, with market-leading full rate library subscription growth in China and iOpenAccess, our Open Access option. Our strategy ensures optimal accessibility for your research community to your journal's content.
• Maximizing visibility for your journal: We want your high-quality journal material to be seen, used, and cited by its core research networks. Our dedicated subject marketers work with journal editors to craft annual print and e-marketing campaigns, involving both journal- and article-level promotion. We provide comprehensive conference presence, extensive subject knowledge and excellent A&I coverage, including complete Google indexing. To give you a sense of our Marketer’s vigour, we mailed 2,700,000 journal leaflets in 2007 and nearly 600,000 e-mails.
• Genuine publishing partnership: Our title teams build open, communicative relationships with journal editors and society officers. We provide regular publishing reports which detail subscription and financial data, as well as contributing to effective journal management through constructive advice, bibliometric analysis and updates on industry developments.
• Adding value to your society's membership package: Including a complimentary electronic subscription to a Routledge, Taylor & Francis, or Informa Healthcare journal, book discounts and cross-promotion on journal marketing material. We recognize that member retention presents an increasing challenge, and we are always looking for ways to enhance our society partners' benefits package.
• Fair dealing with the community: We are committed to providing quality service in a socially responsible fashion. We work closely with librarians to ensure our pricing is fair and that our sales models best match faculty needs. Philanthropic access programs make our journal content available in 960 institutions across the developing world - either free or at significant discount. Our copyright policies are liberal whilst protecting the rights of our partners, and we operate our business on environmentally sound principles.
• In addition to supplying world-class publishing services, we aim to generate a robust financial return for our partners.
• "Our learned society and university partners value our ability to connect their journals with core research networks around the world," says Dr David Green, Global Journals Publishing Director, "particularly in leading edge research, and the high citation levels this creates."
