This article describes the academic publishing company "Springer" . For the newspaper company started by Axel Springer, see Axel Springer AG.


Springer Science+Business Media or Springer (IPA: [ˈʃpʁɪŋɐ]) is a worldwide publishing company based in Germany with major offices in Berlin, Heidelberg, Dordrecht (Netherlands) and New York, which focuses on academic journals and books in the fields of science, technology, mathematics, and medicine. Within the Science, Technology, and Medicine sector, Springer is the largest book publisher, and second-largest journal publisher worldwide (the largest being Elsevier), with over 60 publishing houses, 1,900 journals, 5,500 new books published each year, sales of 924 million euro (in 2006) and 5,000 employees.[1]

The academic publishing companies Springer-Verlag and the Dutch Kluwer Academic Publishers were bought in 2003 by the British investment groups Cinven and Candover.[1] The publishers were merged in 2004 to form Springer Science+Business Media. Springer publishes textbooks, academic reference books, and a large number of peer-reviewed topical journals in various academic disciplines.

In September 2007, the company reorganized into two divisions, according to a Springer news release. One division, STM Local Publishing, will manage local STM publications in France, Switzerland and Austria, Asia and the Americas, and also non-German-language medicine and pharmaceutical publications. It will include the imprints Apress, Key Curriculum Press, Springer Asia, Springer India and Springer Japan as well as Springer Healthcare Communications, Current Medicine Group, FMC, Springer Italy and Infochem. The other, STM Global Publishing, will include the remaining products.
