Blackwell Munksgaard

In 1917 Munksgaard was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark. Blackwell Scientific Publications (BSP), B H Blackwell, and Blackwell & Mott acquired the company in 1963. Later BSP became sole owner. The bookseller side was sold to the management in the 1970s. The publishing continued to grow led by an international journals list with particular strength in dentistry, dermatology, immunology, and transplantation. In 1998 the educational, software, high school, trade, and general publishing business were sold off, followed by the subscription agency in 2000 and the Danish language medical textbook program in 2001. With the company now under the Blackwell Publishing umbrella and managed by Elizabeth Kukla, its focus turned to developing its journal list.
