Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, and Chemical Industry Press (CIP) have signed an agreement to publish a co-branded Wiley-CIP Series Imprint. The agreement was signed at the Frankfurt Book Fair, with attendance from representatives from the General Administration of Press and Publication – the main regulatory body for China’s publishing industry. Steven Miron, Vice President and Managing Director for Physical Sciences at John Wiley & Sons, formalised the relationship on behalf of Wiley, while Pan Zheng An, Editor-in-Chief at CIP, represented Chemical Industry Press.
The collaboration is aimed at developing a series of English-language advanced textbooks and reference books for a global readership of post-graduates, researchers and practitioners. The partnership will publish titles in Engineering, Materials Science and Chemistry during the initial phase, with potential to expand into other areas of science and medicine where CIP nurtures a rich community of distinguished authors.
As part of the agreement, Wiley will supply CIP with print copies of an English-language version for distribution within China at local market prices. Two Electrical Engineering titles have already been approved for inclusion in the series, and are scheduled for publication in early 2010. Wiley hopes to publish 5-8 titles over the next two years, with an eye to establishing the quality of the series, and to grow the published collection to 10-15 in its third year. This reinforces Wiley’s continued commitment to consistently deliver top quality content to its partners and the scholarly research community in China.
