Nova Publishers
Encyclopedia
Nova Publishers is an academic publisher
based in Hauppauge, New York
of books and journals
for an academic audience. The company focuses on science, political science, European and Asian studies, and security studies. It was founded in 1985 in New York by Frank Columbus, former Vice-President of Plenum Publishing. On his death in 2010 at age 69, his wife Nadya Columbus became the editor-in-chief.
The publisher has been criticized for republishing public domain material in their journals (often chapters taken from early 20th century non-scholarly books) and for so-called "cross publication," where the same paper is republished in more than one collection. In an evaluation of twenty-one international social-science book publishers that attempted to determine the market penetration of publishers in influencing policy level bureaucrats, Nova Publishers ranked 17th out of 21 publishers.
