About PDC

The Philosophy Documentation Center has been serving the scholarly community on a non-profit basis since 1966, earning a reputation for excellence with the publication of essential reference materials, peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and research databases. We provide a full range of electronic publishing services, including digital workflow management and support for a range of both institutional and individual access options. This work includes customized electronic conversion services for print journals or series of any size. Other services include membership management for professional organizations, secure hosting of full-text content in any western language, order fulfillment for print or electronic journals, rights and permissions management, typesetting and graphic design services, conference registrations, and marketing services. Our range of services continues to expand to meet the needs of our clients and partners.

In addition to supporting teaching and research in philosophy and related disciplines, we try to expand the reach of philosophical work outside the classroom with the distribution of philosophy magazines, newsletters, and videos. We also jointly sponsor the APA/PDC Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs with the American Philosophical Association.
