Publisher Celebrates 20 Years of Advancing Scientific Communication Across the Globe

BATH, U.K. - Feb. 21, 2018 - PRLog -- Online science publisher SelectScience is celebrating 20 years at the forefront of scientific communication.

From its base in Bath, UK, SelectScience publishes cutting-edge science technology news and trusted peer-to-peer information to a global audience of around 2 million scientists. Founded in 1998 by Arif and Louise Butt, it is now considered one of the world's most innovative science communications companies.

To kick the anniversary year off in style, the team has used state-of-the-art storytelling platform Shorthand to create a special anniversary feature title the Future of Science, looking ahead to how science will change our lives dramatically over the next 20 years and featuring the predictions of world-leading scientists.

Comprising a talented and growing UK-based workforce – with a mixture of strong science, marketing, editorial and IT backgrounds – working in tandem with an expert commercial team dotted across the world, SelectScience focuses on the latest technologies and techniques from across the scientific industry.

"When we launched SelectScience in 1998, we had a strong vision that it would go on to become a leading light in the world of scientific communication, and we are proud to see that realised," said Dr. Butt. "The whole team is hugely proud to have played a part in helping to accelerate scientific progress and make the future healthier. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our members, reviewers and industry partners, as well as the hard-working team at SelectScience, for all they have done to help make SelectScience the dynamic publisher that it is today."

SelectScience has earned a reputation for consistently strong business growth, winning a Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2013, in recognition of Outstanding Achievement for International Trade, and was named UK Life Science Employer of the Year in 2014.
