The Institute's book publishing acquired by Taylor & Francis Group

Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP) is pleased to announce that its books publishing programme has been acquired by Taylor & Francis Group . Starting 1 July 2005, Taylor & Francis will assume all editorial, sales, marketing, customer service, and warehousing responsibilities for this prestigious list of almost 600 titles.

Also beginning on July 1, Taylor & Francis will handle all IOPP order processing, and all orders for IOPP books will be forwarded to Taylor & Francis. The books will move into the Taylor & Francis UK and US warehouses shortly after this date. Returns will be handled by Institute of Physics Publishing until October 31.

Taylor & Francis will recruit a new editor, to be based in their London office, who will assume responsibility for existing authors and further develop the publication list. While books currently in print and under contract will continue to publish under the Institute of Physics imprint, all new titles will carry the Taylor & Francis imprint.

Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics, Dr Robert Kirby-Harris, said, “The Institute is dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge and education in pure and applied physics. Taylor & Francis has a distinguished tradition of publishing excellence in physics that dates back to its founding in 1798; we believe that they will take forward and develop this extensive list of titles for the benefit of the physics community”.
