One day in the late 1990s when our office was tiny, we received a query from the Institute of Social Science (ISS) at the University of Tokyo about whether we would be interested in publishing a journal with them. At that time, our journals division in Tokyo was expanding, seeking well-established Japanese societies and institutions to publish journals with us. The process of launching a new journal is hugely complex and rather like deciding to have a baby in that it requires close association and intense collaboration between two parties who enjoy a strong foundation of trust. Newly launched journals do not always work out perfectly, and in fact, rarely work out at all. Happily, however, things worked very well between ISS and Oxford University Press. Not all aspects of the process went smoothly, but there were few contentious points of negotiation. Looking back, we realize there were some pivotal reasons why this collaboration moved ahead with such success.
