Taylor & Francis Group and Haworth Press Jennifer McMillan 19 Dec 2007 13:58 UTC

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.”
