IOS Press is a publishing house headquartered in Amsterdam,[1] specialising in the publication of journals and books related to fields of scientific, technical, and medical (STM) research.[2] It was established in 1987 by Einar Fredriksson[3][4] with a strong focus on computer science and artificial intelligence.[3][5] IOS Press has since diversified to include basic sciences and medicine.[1][2] IOS Press publishes around 90 international journals and releases about 70 book titles annually, covering fields such as computer science, mathematics, the natural sciences, and topics within medicine.[2][6][7]

History

A subsidiary based in the United States (IOS Press, Inc.) was created in 1990, based in the Washington, D.C. area.[6] In the 1990s, IOS Press partnered with Ohmsha Ltd. (Japan) and re-established the Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft AKA GmbH aka AKA-Verlag (Germany).[8] Other co-publishing and joint venture relationships have been formed to extend IOS Press' academic publishing coverage between Germany, Japan and China.[9][6]

IOS Press expanded to acquire the publications list of Delft University Press (Netherlands) in 2005, and has since explored open access initiatives for books and journals through TU Delft.[10][11] IOS Press publishes a number of peer-reviewed open access journals, including In Silico Biology, Information Knowledge Systems Management, Journal on Satisfiability, Boolean Modeling and Computation[12] and Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine.[13]

IOS Press is a member of the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers (STM).[14][15] IOS Press is a signatory of the SDG Publishers Compact,[16][17] and has taken steps to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the publishing industry.[18][19] In 2023 the company was acquired by Sage.[20][21]
