==Blackwell Publishing history==
Blackwell Publishing was formed by the 2001 merger of two [[Oxford]]-based [[academic publishing]] companies, Blackwell Science,

==Controversy==
In April 2022, the journal [[Science (journal)|''Science'']] reported that a Ukrainian company, [[International Publisher Ltd.]], run by Ksenia Badziun, operates a Russian website where academics can purchase authorships in soon to be published academic papers. During the 2 year period analyzed by researchers, they found that at least 419 articles "appeared to match manuscripts that later appeared in dozens of different journals" and that "More than 100 of these identified papers were published in 68 journals run by established publishers, including [[Elsevier]], [[Oxford University Press]], [[Springer Nature]], [[Taylor & Francis]], [[Wolters Kluwer]], and Wiley-Blackwell." Wiley-Blackwell claimed that they were examining the specific papers that were identified and brought to their attention.<ref>{{cite news|title=Russian site peddles paper authorship in reputable journals for up to $5000 a pop|date=6 April 2022|author=AMBYDALMEET SINGH CHAWLA|url=https://www.science.org/content/article/russian-website-peddles-authorships-linked-reputable-journals|work=Science}}</ref>
