Submission declined on 1 November 2023 by Devonian Wombat (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.) is a U.S.-based international academic publishing company headquartered in Hershey, Pennsylvania that publishes books and academic journals across a variety of subject areas. In 2019, IGI Global was assessed in a Springer Nature white paper as the 7th largest scientific, medical, and technical (STM) publisher. The company has been accused of engaging in predatory publishing and criticized for its handling of plagiarism.
IGI Global (originally Idea Group Inc.) was founded in 1988 by a former professor at the Pennsylvania State University (USA).[2] The organization started as a publisher of research content in the field of information science and technology as it is applied to multiple disciplines, such as education, library science, healthcare, public administration, and computer science.[3][4] In 2002, IGI Global began offering content in electronic formats.[1] Until 2009, IGI Global publications were manually typeset. After this date, it built an in-house workflow management system to produce its publications.[5]
IGI Global is listed as a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).[6] It is also listed as a SHERPA/RoMEO blue publisher and employs a hybrid model of Open Access for its journals.[7][8] In 2007 and 2008, two blog posts by Debora Weber-Wulff and Ian Bogost noted that IGI Global may be characterized being involved with "write-only publishing" of its books, as recorded in a later journal article.[9] It has been claimed that IGI Global's small-run monographs are aimed at promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) for its authors.[10] Beall's List lists IGI Global as a vanity press, though with a note that the publisher is a member of COPE.[11] In 2021, an editorial piece in a competing journal criticized IGI Global's handling of plagiarism.[12]
In 2019, IGI Global was assessed in a Springer Nature white paper as the 7th largest scientific, medical, and technical (STM) publisher in a top ten list of publishers, with a total of 116 books, 2,286 chapters, 2,339 citations, and an average of 20 citations per book.[13][14][15] IGI Global sponsors conferences such as the Charleston Conference.[16]
