IOP Publishing (previously Institute of Physics Publishing), is the publishing company of the Institute of Physics. It provides publications through which scientific research is distributed worldwide, including journals, community websites, magazines, conference proceedings and books. The Institute of Physics is a scientific charity devoted to increasing the practice, understanding and application of physics. Any financial surplus earned by IOP Publishing goes to support physics through the various activities of the Institute[citation needed].

The main IOP Publishing headquarters is located in Bristol, England. It also has regional offices in Mexico City, Beijing and Tokyo. It has over 500 employees and staff.

It was the first physics publisher to publish a journal on the internet[citation needed]. In 1994, the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity was published as a TeX file. In January 1996, the organization launched the full electronic journals programme on the World Wide Web, ahead of other physics publishers.[3]

Physics World, the monthly magazine of the Institute of Physics, was first published in October 1988.[4] The title, published by IOP Publishing won in the App/Digital Edition category for Association/Non-Profit (B-to-B) brands at the Eddie Digital Awards. It also picked up an honourable mention for best Design Cover at the Association/Non-Profit (B-to-B) category in the Ozzie Awards.[5]

## Books

[edit]

IOP Publishing sold its books publishing division (with the imprint Adam Hilger) to Taylor & Francis in 2005.[7] As a consequence of recent significant changes in the publishing landscape and demand for ebooks, IOP Publishing launched an ebook programme in 2012.[8] IOP Publishing partnered with Morgan & Claypool on a book programme which is focussed on researchers who are in the early stages of their research careers, or the ones who would like to approach a research field more broadly and across different disciplines.[9] In 2014 IOP Publishing and the American Astronomical Society announced an electronic book publishing partnership as part of the AAS's mission to enhance and share humanity’s scientific understanding of the universe.[10]
