The Hindawi Publishing Corporation is a commercial publisher of scientific, technical, and medical (STM) literature. Founded in 1997, Hindawi currently publishes more than 300+ peer-reviewed scientific journals as well as, more recently, a number of scholarly monographs. However, as of 2011-09-07[1], only 22 of the journals currently have a listed impact factor. The company has its headquarters in Cairo and an office in New York. Hindawi is one of the leading publishers in the open-access publishing movement.[2]

[edit] Founding
Hindawi Publishing Corporation was founded in 1997 in Cairo by physics graduate Ahmed Hindawi and Nagwa Abdel-Mottaleb.[2] The company's first journal was the International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences.[2] Already in 2006, Hindawi had about 220 employees, including 15 software developers,[2] and it published journals in the physical sciences and in medical research.
[edit] Open access
By mid-2007, all of Hindawi's journals were open access journals.[3] Hindawi was one of the first publishers to use this model exclusively. Print versions are also available, using a customary subscription model.[4][5]
