Local reprints and Chinese editions

The Charlesworth Group acts as an agent for Western medical publishers by selling reprints of relevant journal articles to the Chinese academic and pharmaceutical market. We also provide local language editions of some of the leading journals in academic research.

Print sales

In contrast to many parts of the world, print sales are still an important part of the market in China. Fulfilment is managed through a network of local import agents. We have strong relationships with these agents and work with them to help to promote titles to relevant societies and universities.

Second tier discount price sales

We can negotiate and arrange for reduced price copies to be sold to libraries that cannot afford full price, with an embargo to separate them from full priced sales.

Strategic China market consultancy

As one of the fastest growing and most attractive markets to Western publishers, China is also one of the most competitive. Through an in-depth understanding of the market we can work with you to improve your impact and presence within the Chinese academic community through a mix of digital marketing and sales-focused strategies. We call this your 'China footprint'.
