Academic and reference books publisher Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced a new structure for its global academic publishing. This will align the three academic publishing divisions - OUP USA, the UK Academic Division and Oxford Journals - under the single leadership of Tim Barton, and is designed to better position the Press for the future.
Barton is currently President of OUP Inc, and from 2004 to 2008 he was Managing Director of the UK Academic Division. His new role will commence in July 2010, following the retirement of Martin Richardson, current Managing Director of UK Academic and Oxford Journals Divisions.
Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. The Press currently publishes more than 6,000 new publications a year, has offices in around fifty countries, and employs some 5,000 people worldwide.
