IOP Publishing is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Institute of Physics. The Institute is a leading scientific society promoting physics and bringing physicists together for the benefit of all. It has a worldwide membership of around 50,000 comprising physicists from all sectors. It works to advance physics research, application and education, and engages with policy makers and the public to develop awareness and understanding of physics. Any profits generated by the publishing company are used by the Institute to support science and scientists in both the developed and developing world.

IOP Publishing provides a range of journals, ebooks, magazines, conference proceedings and websites for the scientific community. These products and services enable researchers and research organisations to reach the widest possible audience for their research. We combine the culture of a learned society with global reach and highly efficient and effective publishing systems and processes. With offices in the UK, US, China and Japan, and staff in many other locations including Mexico and Sydney, we serve researchers in the physical and related sciences in all parts of the world.

Beyond publication in peer-reviewed journals, we make the latest scientific information easily accessible to a wider audience through a portfolio of websites, magazines, conference proceedings and a multitude of electronic services. Our range of websites includes a site dedicated to showcasing research from the Asia-Pacific region as well as local-language websites for Japan, China and Latin America. We exploit new technology and our understanding of how researchers work to deliver scientific information in the formats that users need and in ways that maximise recognition for authors.
