Statement from René Olivieri, Chief Executive

Publishing is about making connections.

Knowledge is not constrained by national or linguistic boundaries.
Many academics are engaged in both teaching and research.

Readers are often authors as well.

In serving the worlds of scholarship, teaching and professional practice we take a holistic approach. Those who write textbooks with us are often breaking new ground in scholarship at the same time. We develop books for students which take account of the latest research and we aim to make the journals we publish as accessible as possible. We support the range of activities in which our authors are engaged and the universities and associations which support them. No other publisher does as much for readers and academic societies as we do.

Our commitment marks us out from most other publishers and there are four cornerstones to that commitment:

• Setting the highest standards of intellectual rigour
• Promoting internationalism
• Building strong relationships
• Expanding readership

Our publishers have a deep understanding of what is happening in your discipline. Our publishing teams have global reach and responsibility. Maximising access and use of our content and the influence of our authors is our mission. Our highest priority is to make the contact you have with Blackwell - whether as an author, as a customer, as society member, or as all of these - as valuable to you as it is to us.
