Overview
Springer is one of the leading international scientific publishing companies, publishing over 1,200 journals and more than 3,000 new books annually, covering a wide range of subjects including biomedicine and the life sciences, clinical medicine,physics, engineering, mathematics, computer sciences, and economics. On 10 May 1842 (his 25th birthday), Julius Springer founded what is now Springer Science+Business Media in Berlin. Of course, the modern Springer is very different from the company that Julius Springer founded and there are parts of Springer (e.g. Vieweg and Bohn Stafleu van Loghum) that were founded even before 1842. The first of Julius Springer’s ventures was a bookstore in Berlin, quickly followed by the publishing house. A. E. Kluwer, the other “father” of the present day company (BertelsmannSpringer and Kluwer Academic Publishers merged in 2004) also founded his publishing house in the 19th Century in the Netherlands. After the founding of the Vienna office in 1924, Springer opened another branch in New York in 1964, followed by counterparts in Tokyo, London, Paris and Hong Kong shortly thereafter. The company quickly became one of the world’s leading scientific publishers. In 1999, Bertelsmann acquired a majority share in Springer-Verlag. In 2003, the British financial investors Cinven and Candover acquired Kluwer Academic Publishers (KAP) and BertelsmannSpringer, which were merged in 2004 to form the present-day Springer Science+Business Media. In October 2008, Springer announced the acquisition of BioMed Central, a pioneer in the world of open access publishing, making Springer, in effect, the world’s largest open access publisher. In 2013, the sale of Springer to BC Partners, one of the few truly pan-European investors, was announced. [1]
