| World
Scientific Publishing Company was established in 1981. The company employs
more than 200 staff at its headquarters in Singapore, and has offices in
New Jersey, London, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangalore, Chennai, Beijing and
Shanghai. In less than two decades, it has established itself as one of
the leading scientific publishers in the world, and the largest
international scientific publisher in the Asia-Pacific region.
Annually, World
Scientific publishes 400 titles a year and 90 journals in various fields.
Many of its books are recommended texts adopted by renowned institutions
such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University,
California Institute of Technology and Princeton University.
Among the company's
notable successes was its being awarded the exclusive rights in 1991 by
the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm to publish (in English) the entire
series of Nobel lectures from 1971 to 1990 and to distribute them
worldwide. Subsequently, World Scientific again obtained the rights to
publish the complete series of Nobel lectures delivered from 1901 to 2000.
In 1995, World Scientific
co-founded the London-based Imperial College Press with London
University's Imperial College. The Press publishes mainly in the fields in
which Imperial College itself is particularly well-known, such as
Engineering, Medicine, Information Technology, Environmental Technology,
and Management Sciences. Imperial College Press has published about 200
books and 8 journals to date.
World Scientific is also
the exclusive distributor for The National Academies Press (based in
Washington, D.C.) in Asia (except Japan) and the Royal Society of Medicine
Press (based in UK) in Asia (except India).
