Karger Publishers, also known asKarger Medical and Scientific Publishers andS. Karger AG, is anacademic publisher ofscientific andmedical journals and books. The currentCEO is Daniel Ebneter.
The company was founded in 1890 inBerlin bySamuel Karger,[1] who remained at the helm of the company until his death in 1935. His son, Heinz Karger led the company until his death in 1959, and Heinz's son (and Samuel's grandson) Thomas Karger took over the leadership of the company; he was followed as the company leader by his eldest son, Steven Karger, and, most recently, by his youngest daughter, Gabriella Karger, who leads the publishing house now.[2] Its firstmedical journal,Dermatologische Zeitschrift (later:Dermatologica, now:Dermatology) was established in 1893. The company published works from well-known scientists such asSigmund Freud. Because of political pressure from theNazi regime, the company was relocated toBasel, Switzerland, in 1937 and lost all German authors and editors. This led to a more international focus and most journal titles were changed from German to Latin and articles were now published in eitherGerman,English,French, orItalian.[3] The company currently publishes over 95 journals,[4] and over 9,000 e-book titles.
