Knowledge Drives Progress, Diversity Makes Us Stronger
We believe that diversity is a strength, and we believe that bringing together a diverse range of people, communities, and opinions is beneficial to the customers and communities we serve, to our colleagues, and ultimately to humankind. Pursuing diversity is both the right – and the smart – thing to do.
We are committed to ensuring an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment in which colleagues can use their energy and ambition to make a difference at work, within the community, and in the world. We have made progress, but we recognize that we still have work to do. We are committed to ensuring that colleagues around the world can contribute, be heard, and be inspired.
Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs)
Our company-wide colleague resource groups are open to everyone. Each network, coordinated by our parent company Informa, is designed to provide support and opportunities, a space to share experiences, inform business programs, and raise awareness of important issues.

Diversity in academic publishing:
How can publishers help repair the ‘leaky pipeline’?
Taylor & Francis is one of the world’s leading academic publishers – and one of its most enduring.
For more than two centuries Taylor & Francis has been committed to the highest quality scholarly publishing, and this remains our goal today. Our purpose is to foster human progress through knowledge – something we’ve been doing since the Enlightenment. We aim to promote a positive future for everyone through our work.
Our imprints include Taylor & Francis, Routledge, CRC Press, F1000 Research and Dovepress. We’ve published over 145,000 book titles, and we publish over 2,700 journals.
Our mission
Our mission is to support, validate and connect the work of researchers and other knowledge makers, so that it can make the fullest possible contribution.
We empower learners, thinkers and doers with trusted knowledge that advances research and enriches lives. We bring together diverse people, ideas and opinions to validate and publish the experts, theories and truths that matter. And we’ve been doing this since 1798.
Our story
We’ve been advancing research and enriching lives since the 18th Century.
Taylor & Francis was founded in London in 1852, but our roots go back to 1798 when Richard Taylor launched the Philosophical Magazine, one of the first scientific journals. Routledge, which Taylor & Francis acquired in 1998, was also founded in 1852 and is now considered to be the leading English-language publisher of humanities and social sciences. The merged company has become one of the top five research publishers globally.
In 2003 we acquired CRC Press, best known for titles in engineering, materials science, and mathematics. In 2004 Taylor & Francis merged with Informa, and has been its academic publishing division since then.
More recent acquisitions include Dove Medical Press in 2017, which specializes in medical journals; and, in 2020, F1000. F1000 provides open research publishing venues that support data deposition and sharing to research funders and institutions. These include the European Commission, Wellcome and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Today our brands advance knowledge across humanities and social sciences, science and technology, engineering, medicine and healthcare.
