studies
Reed International
began as a UK newsprint manufacturer. It subsequently acquired major newspaper,
magazine and book interests. The International Publishing
Corporation (IPC) was bought in 1970; it included Mirror Group
newspapers (sold to Robert Maxwell in 1984) and other
publishing/printing interests, including Odhams, Newnes, Iliffe &
Son, and Butterworths.
Elsevier dates from 1800; the name was adopted
from the 16th century Dutch family of printers. Elsevier was established
in New York in 1937; Excerpta Medica was founded in 1946 and launched
its EMBASE online database in 1960. The Elsevier Publishing Company was
renamed Elsevier Scientific Publishers in 1979 and acquired Pergamon
Press (from Maxwell) in 1991.
Elsevier and Reed International merged two years later.
US database giant LEXIS-NEXIS was acquired in 1994, followed by Thomson's legal publications and Chilton Business Group in
1997 and Matthew Bender & Shepard's in 1998. In 1998, Reed Elsevier
completed the disposal of its consumer publishing interests, including
IPC Magazines.
