Academic publisher Taylor & Francis (T&F) recently announced that its Advanced Learning division acquired Stylus Publishing, a U.S.-based independent publisher specializing in Education and Teaching in Higher Education.
T&F’s Advanced Learning Routledge imprint, the world’s leading publisher of academic books, journals, and online resources in Humanities and Social Sciences, will take over Stylus Publishing’s nearly 600 backlist titles in print and e-book formats. Founded in the mid-1990s, Stylus has published approximately 30 new books per year.
Advanced Learning’s Education Program has a following of renowned authors and experts worldwide for its breadth and reach, in all stages of their career, from pre-service to in-service teachers and leaders to graduate students, instructors, scholars, academics, and other education professionals. The program covers subjects such as early childhood education, educational leadership, social justice education, textbooks, scholarly works, and research handbooks, in addition to a list for practicing K-12 teachers and school leaders in the U.S. Advanced Learning is also further developing its open access books program with open access across chapters and books in all disciplines.
The Education Portfolio for Stylus comprises Education, Education K–12, and Higher Education, with subjects like Adult Education, Educational Equity, Curriculum, Gender & Higher Education, Improvement Science, Online & Distance Learning, Policy & Research, Administration & Management, Early Years Education, Special Education, International Comparative Education, Career Counseling, Teaching & Technology, and University & Community Relations, to name just a few.
Advanced Learning’s Routledge imprint has had a long and instrumental impact in enabling new subjects to form academic disciplines, including Sociology, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, and Gender Studies (originally Women’s Studies). At Taylor & Francis: more than 160,000 e-books are available; books and journals are downloaded at a rate of more than 12 per second; and T&F sells a book every five seconds.
