Nature Publishing Group (NPG) will be opening two new divisions - NPG India, based in Gurgaon, and NPG Latin America/Spain, based in Mexico City.
Along with the recently transformed NPG Nature Asia-Pacific, the new organisations will focus on publishing initiatives in their respective regions.
"It is exciting to see the emerging markets in Asia, India, Latin America and Spain developing".
"NPG is a global company and we would like continue to build strong relationships in regional markets and to support their growing research output," commented Annette Thomas, managing director.
NPG India and NPG Latin America/Spain will focus on marketing, sales, advertising and society relationships and developing editorially-led local publishing projects in their respective territories, helping the growing body of outstanding research in these regions to become more visible on the global stage.
Jaishree Srinivasan will direct publishing initiatives as head of business development, NPG India.
The effort in Latin America and Spain will be lead by Juan Pablo Guereno, market development director for Spanish and Portuguese publishing, Nature Publishing Group - Macmillan.
The newly formed NPG Nature Asia-Pacific consists of the former Nature Japan KK along with NPG offices in Hong Kong and Melbourne, Australia.
Under the direction of David Swinbanks, publishing director, the division handles editorial, marketing, sales, print and web production for NPG in the region.
This new organisation will develop the Nature brand in the Asia-Pacific, as well as developing society-owned publications and creating a new custom-publishing service.
"These offices will help NPG to build relationships with prestigious scientific and medical societies, strengthen links with prominent universities and make content more accessible throughout their respective regions," continued Thomas.
