STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with People's Medical Publishing House (PMPH), China. The announcement expands on Elsevier's current publishing collaboration with the largest Chinese medical publisher in China.
Elsevier's collaboration with PMPH goes back to the 1990s. Since then PMPH has translated and published hundreds of Elsevier's book titles in health sciences. Under the new agreement, Elsevier and PMPH will deepen and expand their collaboration, not only translating English book titles into Chinese and vice versa, but now also facilitating international collaboration in authoring books and developing information products, as well as enabling distribution of these books and products to health professionals globally.
PMPH produces books, journals and e-products including medical textbooks, clinical references, and patient education books both in western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The publishing house publishes 3000 new titles and new editions annually and has prestigious local and international author teams.
