Knowledge empowers people to think, do, and be more. We empower learners, thinkers, and doers with trusted knowledge that advances research and enriches lives.

Our story 

Our story may go back over 200 years, but we have always been at the cutting edge of publishing. 

Taylor & Francis was founded in London in 1852, but our roots go back to 1798 and the launch of the Philosophical Magazine. Routledge, now the leading publisher of humanities and social sciences, was founded in 1851. It was acquired by us in 1998, and we became one of the top five research publishers in the world. 

In 2004 Taylor & Francis merged with Informa. We are proud to be part of this world leader in business intelligence, academic publishing, knowledge, and events.
