Andy Robinson

Managing Director, Publishing and Knowledge Business @Cabi

I lead CABI’s Knowledge Business, which encompasses our commercial publishing and the knowledge and data management projects that support our international development work. We put know-how into people’s hands, turning evidence-based information into actionable advice. Our work includes: • abstracting and indexing databases, which help people find essential content and stay up-to-date in their specialist area; • open access preprints and journals, providing a fast, open and reliable service for sharing research findings across all fields relevant to agriculture and the biosciences; • books, compendia, knowledge banks, apps and e-learning that synthesize information and expertise to help answer critical questions in agriculture and the environment. Before joining CABI I did a PhD on potatoes (plant biochemistry) at the University of Cambridge, and have over 25 years of publishing experience spanning journals, books, databases, news magazines/websites and e-learning mostly in the health sciences providing publishing services to many of the world’s leading societies and associations.
