About Palgrave Macmillan

Palgrave Macmillan is a global academic publisher, serving learning and scholarship in higher education and the professional world. It publishes textbooks, journals, monographs, professional and reference works in print and online. Its programme focuses on the Humanities, the Social Sciences and Business. As part of the Macmillan Group, it represents an unbroken tradition of 160 years of independent academic publishing.

Macmillan is owned by The Holtzbrinck Group, which is one of the few international publishing houses to remain in family ownership. Companies in the Holtzbrinck Group retain the advantages of private ownership - stability, continuity and the ability to take the long-term view of investment and growth - while benefiting from the strengths of a global company trading in a range of media.

Institutional online access to Palgrave Macmillan journals is now sold in the form of site licenses via our sister company Nature Publishing Group (NPG). Combined print and online subscriptions are no longer available. By decoupling online product from print, Palgrave Macmillan is better positioned to offer increased benefits to customers, such as fairly priced access, post-cancellation rights, desktop access for unlimited concurrent users and discounts for customers purchasing multiple products.
