Transaction Publishers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transaction Publishers has been publishing social science books and journals since 1962.
Prominently displayed on their web site is a quotation from Booklist "Libraries with strong social science collections may find a gold mine in Transaction's list"
Transaction Publishers is widely acknowledged as a major independent publisher of social science books and serials. Transaction's mission is scholarly and professional inquiry into the nature of society. Transaction offers publications in older, established disciplines such as economics, political science, history, sociology, anthropology, psychology, as well as recently established disciplines ranging from area research to urban studies, policy analysis, philosophy of social science, organizational behavior, and criminology. Their offices are located on the campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey.
On their website Transaction Publishers says
A central factor in the success of Transaction is its relationship with Rutgers University. It has had the firm support of four presidents: Mason W. Gross, Edward J. Bloustein, Francis L. Lawrence, and Richard McCormick. The Transaction mission with respect to the University has been, and continues to be, the enhancement of its social science and social research capacities. Many editors, authors and advisors are drawn from the faculty. Important journals are edited by Rutgers personnel. By emphasizing products over profits, Transaction has been able to maintain a clear sense of the needs of Rutgers University without losing a sense of its own basic professional priorities. This is possible because both the University and Transaction share a common faith in the needs of science and scholarship.[1]
