Igaku-Shoin Ltd

Regular Member

Since our founding in 1944, Igaku-Shoin has been consistently committed to publishing an extensive range of publications in the areas of medical and life sciences useful to physicians, dentists, medical researchers, nurses, pharmacologists, clinical laboratory technicians, physical and occupational therapists and X-ray technicians, as well as textbooks and references essential to students aiming to work in these professions.

We provide professional information both through conventional print media such as books and journals and electronic delivery of the contents over the Internet as a means of information transmission. We also provide information to our readers through portable electronic dictionaries and information terminals. Igaku-Shoin believes it important to study the various ways of sending complex and sophisticated medical information to those seeking it by making use of the respective characteristics and functions of print and electronic media, and delivery to our readers in accessible forms. Editorial planning, information processing and production and distribution and sales are three major pillars supporting the publication of professional books. With decades of history and experience as such a publisher, we will continue to expand our publication activities while maintaining the balance of these three pillars.
