IOS Press, Amsterdam, The Netherlands International science publishing activities in the Netherlands in the first half of the twentieth century came about through contacts with German publishers, many from Leipzig, Germany’s publishing centre, which contained important companies such as Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft (Aka), where young, aspiring D...
Both Elsevier and North-Holland survived the war. Elsevier had an important list of Dutch publications, the encyclopaedia and general literature which sold extremely well. Even old stocks were sold out: in wartime, there was little else peo-ple could spend their money on. As far as North-Holland was concerned, the Academy publications and doctoral ...
During the second half of the ’s the growth in funding of the natural sci-ences worldwide, coupled with the growing number of institutes and scientists, as well as expanding librarians’ budgets, began to have an impact on both publishers. The shock experienced in the US in when the Soviet Union launched its Sputnik clearly had an impact in...

It was decided to form a consortium of publishers who would store and deliver single articles to paying cus-tomers. On the way towards i...
At North-Holland the first steps towards establishing the journal Computer Networks (see Ch. ) were taken in . Internal company experiences with data-bases and automating Excerpta Medica, combined with computer conferencing, led to the concept of ‘compact journals’ where news, announcements of forthcoming articles or books, conference items, ...
As Elsevier moved into the ’s, it had journals, an impressive profit margin, and after the Kluwer takeover debacle in it still owned one-third of the stock of its competitor, the Wolters-Kluwer group. Attempts to form a strate-gic liaison with the British Pearson group had led no further than a % share in their stock. Taking these ...
