About Palgrave Macmillan Journals

Palgrave Macmillan is a global academic and business publisher, serving learning and scholarship in the academic and professional worlds. We publish journals, textbooks, monographs and professional and reference works in print and online. Our programme focuses on Business, the wider Social Sciences and the Humanities.

We are a stable publishing company in private ownership with a commitment to significant ongoing investment in our publishing programme and infrastructure.

As part of the wider Macmillan Group, Palgrave Macmillan represents an unbroken tradition of over 160 years of independent academic publishing. Our goal is to be publisher of choice for all our stakeholders - for authors, customers, business partners, the communities we serve and the staff who work for us. We aim to do this by reaching the maximum readership with works of the highest quality.

Macmillan is a substantial part of the family-owned Holtzbrinck Group, which is based in Stuttgart, Germany. The Holtzbrinck Group is one of the few international publishing houses to remain in family ownership. It has a long-standing commitment to investment in forward looking and quality publishing. Companies in the Holtzbrinck Group retain the advantages of private ownership - stability, continuity and the ability to take the long-term view of investment and growth - while benefiting from the strengths and security of a global company trading in all media.

We aim to be the premier publisher, not the largest, with a constant and firm focus on the quality of our processes and of the content that appears in the journals we publish. We are fortunate to have a global and leading journals publishing infrastructure encompassing publishing, production, sales and marketing, fulfillment and full online publishing services.
