Portland Customer Services, a division of the Biochemical Society, has
been appointed to handle the processing of orders and the distribution
of journals published by the Royal Society of Chemistry from January
2005.
The decision has been taken after a review of options available to the
RSC to provide efficient, economical and customer-focused services for
the fulfilment and distribution of its services worldwide.
Portland Customer Services is a well-established service provider which
specializes in the distribution of academic and professional
publications both for the Biochemical Society and other organizations.
Peter Gregory, Director of Publishing, Royal Society of Chemistry said:
"We look forward to working closely with another learned society to
improve the services offered to our members and customers."
Rhonda Oliver, Managing Director, Portland Press Ltd: "We are delighted
that the RSC, by choosing our global fulfilment and distribution
service, has demonstrated its confidence in our staff and systems. We
look forward to a long and fruitful association with such an important
member of the scholarly publishing community."
The Royal Society of Chemistry is the largest organisation in Europe for
advancing the chemical sciences. Supported by a network of 45,000
members worldwide and an internationally acclaimed publishing business,
our activities span education and training, conferences and science
policy, and the promotion of the chemical sciences to the public.
The Biochemical Society is one of the largest life science societies in
the UK with around 7000 members worldwide. Portland Press Limited is its
wholly owned publishing subsidiary. Portland Press has its own
international publishing programme of journals and books and carries out
a wide range of services via its Portland Customer Services Centre,
