Taylor & Francis Group and Haworth Press
Abingdon, 19 December 2007
Taylor & Francis Group is delighted to welcome Haworth
Press
journals and books to its publishing portfolio following the
acquisition of Haworth Press on September 14th, 2007.
Haworth Press' list of social, behavioral and environmental
science titles are an excellent complement to the existing
strengths of Routledge and Taylor & Francis in these
areas. Our
editorial team is very much looking forward to the continued
development of the Haworth journal titles in these fields.
Titles
focussing on medicine will become part of the journal
portfolio
of our sister company, Informa Healthcare.*
The Haworth list boasts a range of well-regarded library
science
journal titles. These will be merged with the Routledge
imprint,
and will continue to be nurtured as key resources for the
information science community.
The Haworth list is also particularly strong in the areas of
social work and LBGT studies. Highlights of the list include
Homosexual Studies, Journal of Social Service Research, and
Social Work in Health Care.
Our electronic platform, informaworld, will allow these
titles to
thrive in an online environment. Haworth's Publisher &
Editor-in-Chief, Bill Cohen, commented on the acquisition:
"...in
order to grow, Haworth needed a consistently creative
internet
platform that could compete successfully with other
platforms of
major houses. informaworld at Taylor & Francis was most
attractive in this sense. It is a resplendent hosting
service,
interweaving core journals along with eBooks, abstract
databases,
and reference works of historic importance. The stability of
a
prodigious international publishing house also adds an
important
dimension in regard to digital permanency."
