About World Scientific Publishing

WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING

World Scientific has established itself as one of the leading scientific publishers in the world, and the largest international scientific publisher in the Asia-Pacific region.

In just 35 years, the company has grown from five employees in one office to 450 in offices in seven countries. Founded in 1981, World Scientific now publishes 600 new titles a year and 130 journals in various fields.

The press’s mission is to develop the highest quality knowledge-based products and services for the academic, scientific, professional, research and student communities worldwide.

Physics, Mathematics and the Life Sciences are World Scientific’s major publishing areas. The press publishes the entire series of Nobel Lectures (every lecture in every subject from 1901) and speeches of the Wolf Prize winners. World Scientific’s position in the areas of Engineering, Medicine and Information Technology is solidified through its co-founding of Imperial College Press.

But World Scientific’s program also extends to Asian Studies, Business and Management, Architecture, Education, Environmental Science and the Social Sciences. Among their titles we’ve promoted at recent conferences are From Bin Laden to Facebook, A History of Food Culture in China, Environmental Policies in Asia, Japan’s Demographic Revival, A Neuroscientist Looks at Robots, GMO Sapiens, The Cyprus Bail-In and Reforging the Central Bank.

World Scientific’s International Advisory Board comprises renowned academics, among whom are Nobel laureates and directors of universities, research institutes and organizations. While the Advisory Board guides editorial policy and direction, it is the Acquisition Editors, many Ph.D.-holders, who proactively search for and acquire high quality projects.

World Scientific is committed to serving the interests of the academic community by swift dissemination of information and knowledge. Their use of print-on-demand technology reduces price and production time, and their launch of various internet-based initiatives, such as ejournals, e-proceedings, etc., has made them an innovator in electronic publishing. More than 1500 World Scientific titles have been converted to eBooks to date, and more than 17,000 articles from over 60 journals are available on WorldSciNetArchives.com.

Each World Scientific office has its own marketing personnel, who work closely with authors to ensure their publications are marketed to their fullest satisfaction. Through targeted marketing campaigns, direct mailings, reviews and advertising, book launches, international book fairs, and working with booksellers and librarians worldwide, World Scientific works hard to put the interests of their authors first.
