Like the learned and professional societies that you represent, World Scientific shares the same commitment as you do -- to the collective advancement of knowledge and research in Science, Technology and Medicine, and Economics. Our strengths lie in the furthering of information exchange and sharing through publications. Over the years, we have created strong collaborations with societies, in line with our corporate mission of developing the highest quality knowledge-based products and services for the academic, scientific, professional, research and student communities worldwide.
We understand the needs of the research community. We know that you ask for quality, timeliness and efficiency at a reasonable cost. We know that you set high standards for the distribution and availability of the journal. This is why we constantly refine our editorial and marketing processes to fit in with the goals and objectives that our society partners aim for.
