2009: A Year of Strong Growth for Hindawi

Hindawi is pleased to announce that its collection of open access 
journals has grown substantially during 2009. The number of 
submitted manuscripts to Hindawi's journals in 2009 increased by 
more than 115%, from about 7,600 submitted manuscripts in 2008 to 
more than 16,500 in 2009. The number of manuscripts accepted for 
publication increased from about 2,500 in 2008 to roughly 4,400 
accepted manuscripts in 2009.

"We are very pleased with the strong growth we experienced during 
2009," said Paul Peters, Hindawi's Head of Business Development. 
"We currently have over 200 journals covering many areas of 
science, technology, and medicine, and we saw very strong growth 
in all areas, particularly within our biological and medical 
collections."

Hindawi's journals are edited by more than 8,700 scholars who 
serve on the journals' Editorial Boards. The 16,500 manuscripts 
that were submitted in 2009 were authored by more than 46,000 
distinct authors from around the world.

"It is clear now more than ever that our open access conversion, 
which we completed in early 2007, was the best management 
decision we have taken at Hindawi," said Ahmed Hindawi, the 
company's co-founder and CEO. "We look forward to 2010 with great 
hope and determination to continue our growth and to further the 
solid academic and financial performance of our publishing 
program."
