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.”
