The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) has begun a new, multi-faceted publishing partnership with John Wiley and Sons Inc.. Wiley, a global leader in research and education, will be the official co-publisher and distributor of the ASM Press references, textbooks, and non-journal publications. ASM and Wiley will also collaborate on an online resource for clinical microbiologists, clinicians, researchers, and students.
Under the new agreement, ASM Press will bring its venerable list of educational, reference, professional, and trade book titles to Wiley with plans to strategically grow title output over the course of the partnership. Publisher of the gold-standard reference Manual of Clinical Microbiology since 1970, ASM Press also produces the most widely adopted textbooks in virology, bacterial genetics and pathogenesis, molecular biotechnology, and responsible conduct of research. As the official co-publisher and distributor of the ASM Press titles, Wiley will become ASM’s exclusive print and digital sales and distribution partner of the existing backlist of ASM Press titles.
In addition to co-publishing and distribution, Wiley and ASM will partner with Atypon, a division of Wiley, to develop a new online subscription service utilising ASM’s flagship clinical microbiology content. This online resource will present comprehensive knowledge of pathogenic and clinically relevant microbes, current microbiology procedures and protocols, and rich case study and contextual information. Expected to launch in 2020, the product is created specifically to meet the needs of clinical microbiologists as students, researchers, and professionals.
