As a publishing house, we pride ourselves on our friendly, personable staff, excellent production quality, thorough and effective marketing campaigns and high customer satisfaction. We take great pride in our author-centric approach. Both our commissioning editors and production editors work hand-in-hand with our authors in order to provide them with the best service and a remarkable publishing experience.

Starting 1st April 2016, World Scientific Publishing Group restructured the brand and consolidated the various imprints under the World Scientific branding. This also applied to the Imperial College imprint. The current Imperial College Press staff are already and have always been integrated with World Scientific Publishing, and so all current procedures and contacts remain in place.

This move enables World Scientific Publishing Group to streamline the marketing and distribution of the Group's titles and products and better serve customers. We believe the restructuring will also improve our production processes, enabling us to better serve all our authors.

We look forward to serving our valued authors, readers and the academic community with utmost dedication.
