Academic publisher De Gruyter has announced the appointment of Paul Manning to the newly created position of Vice President, De Gruyter Americas. Manning joins De Gruyter from Springer Nature where he was Executive Vice President until 2015 and President and Publisher of Apress from 2007 until 2014.
His appointment is within the context of the company's ambitious strategy of increasing the awareness among researchers and librarians in the Americas of the valued high-quality publishing and distribution options that De Gruyter offers.
De Gruyter, with over 260 years of publishing experience, combines traditional publishing values of editorial excellence with contemporary expertise in digital publishing, open access business models and a focus on the needs of researchers in a fast-moving academic environment.
De Gruyter already has a solid editorial presence in the Americas. Building on these strengths, additional investments will be made to expand the publishing portfolio in Science and Technology.
De Gruyter has partnered with Harvard University Press, Princeton University Press, and several others to distribute their electronic and in some cases print content. Its growing content base and increased relevance for the US market has enabled the publisher to expand its sales and marketing operations in the Americas.
