About us

IOP publishes a range of journals, websites and magazines including Physics World, the membership title of the Institute of Physics. More than 60 journals reflect the growth and interdisciplinary nature of scientific research and application, from topics as varied as astronomy, mathematics, the biosciences and, of course, physics.

A world leader in the development of electronic publishing for the scientific community, we are developing online resources to meet emerging needs, and embracing innovative new technologies because we want to deliver relevant content to you, fast.

Publishing research work with IOP Publishing is quick and easy, allowing authors to submit without delay, to monitor progress and to keep research archived safely. Furthermore, advice on all aspects of publishing, including authorship of journal articles and subscription information, is readily available.

We have created community websites that allow scientists to network and share information, providing a meeting point for industry professionals to exchange ideas and information with their academic counterparts.

Our magazines focus on specific technical areas and are leading titles in their fields for both readers and advertisers. Some are produced in collaboration with other societies, and we work closely with many international partners.

IOP Publishing is a member of many publishing associations, including the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers; the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers; the Publishers Association (UK); the Association of American Publishers; the Professional and Scholarly Publishing division of AAP; and the Society for Scholarly Publishing.

Furthermore, we are actively engaged and working with key partners and stakeholders on all major publishing industry initiatives and organizations, including CrossRef, COUNTER and Scitopia.
