I’d have never heard of IGI Global but for this research project I call my EDI blog.

What has IGI to do with EDI? 

A Foundation in Diversity and Inclusion

IGI Global has embraced the concept of diversity, equality, and inclusion through international perspectives since the inception of the company. Unlike many other academic publishers, we have driven inclusivity and diversity through all our titles, long before academic diversity was widely encouraged in the academic world. IGI Global works with over 200,000+ researchers from around the world, 40% of whom hail from non-Western countries. As a publisher, we will continue to support our stance on inclusion of international perspectives above profit, and we will also work directly with our researchers to assist them in combatting discrimination and ensuring that all of our publications undergo a rigorous double-anonymized peer review process.

IGI Global publishes important, yet niche areas of research, where in some cases these books sell a small number of copies due to the extremely narrow and forward-thinking concepts presented by the small groups of pioneering researchers. IGI Global provides equitable publishing opportunities for all aspiring and established authors worldwide. We work closely with a network of third-party partnerships with wholesalers, booksellers, and jobbers to distribute and sell the books throughout global markets. For many of our overseas distribution partnerships, especially in developing countries, we offer discounts to appease taxes, customs, and general distribution costs with enough savings for the customer to affordably acquire the book.
