Nova Publishers, formally incorporated as Nova Science Publishers, is a publisher of books and journals based in Hauppauge, New York. The firm publishes books and journals in science and the social sciences. As of January 2013, it listed 110 currently published journals. It was founded in 1985 in New York by Frank Columbus. On his death in 2010 at age 69, his wife Nadya Columbus became the editor-in-chief.
In an evaluation of twenty-one international social-science book publishers that attempted to determine the market penetration of publishers on international markets and the mentioning of their books in international science index systems such as Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Nova Publishers ranked 17th out of 21 publishers.
David Bade, a senior librarian at the University of Chicago's Regenstein Library, has criticized Nova Publishing's practice of republishing old public domain book chapters, while providing insufficient indication of the nature of the content, making them seem as though are new standalone journal articles.
Nova Publishers is included in the Book Citation Index.
