Haworth Press was a publisher of scholarly, academic and trade books, and approximately 200 peer-reviewed academic journals. It was founded in 1978 by the publishing industry executives Bill Cohen and Patrick Mclaughlin. The name was taken from the township of Haworth in England, the home of the Brontë sisters.[1] Many of the Haworth publications cover very specialized material, ranging from mental health, psychology, psychiatry, addiction studies, social work, interdisciplinary social sciences, library & information science, LGBT studies, agriculture, pharmaceutical science, health care, medicine, and other fields.
Their first publication was Library Security Newsletter. Their early publications were all in the fields of library and information science and in social work. As of 2007, they publish over 200 periodicals and approximately 5,000 academic and professional books and texts.
In 2005 Haworth Press began using Pain Exhibit art on the cover of their Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy (JPPCP). Art from the Pain Exhibit, which is an educational and visual arts exhibit, has been used on the cover of JPPCP from 2005 to 2009[2][3].
In 2007, Haworth Press was acquired by the Taylor & Francis Group and became part of Routledge.
