Founded in 1890 and headquartered in Switzerland, Karger is a family-owned publisher devoted exclusively to biomedical publishing. It is among the world’s renowned medical publishers, issuing ~100 journals (including 22 open-access titles, “Extra” affiliated journals, and Case Reports; the vast majority indexed by SCI), 40+ book series, and numerous monographs—primarily in English—spanning oncology, endocrinology, nephrology, cell biology, neurosciences, hematology, genetics, and other emerging/hot topics. All content is peer-reviewed. Notably, Bruce A. Beutler and Jules A. Hoffmann (2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine) have served on the editorial board of Journal of Innate Immunity. In recent years Karger has expanded collaborations in China, with a steady rise in submissions from Chinese authors.
