ALPSP
The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) is the world’s largest trade association for scholarly and professional publishers. It has over 350 organizational members in 37 countries who collectively publish over 10,000 journals – around half the world’s total - as well as books, databases and other products.
ALPSP's mission is to connect, train and inform the scholarly and professional publishing community and to be an advocate on behalf of the non-profit publishing sector. ALPSP plays an active part in shaping the future of academic and professional communication, promoting 'Scholarship-Friendly Publishing'. At this time of unprecedented change in the publishing environment, we serve, represent and strengthen the community of non-profit publishers, and those who work with them.
ALPSP is headquartered in the UK and has active Chapters in North America and Australia / New Zealand.
