Overview
=Founding=
The company was founded in 1852 when William Francis joined Richard Taylor in his publishing business. Taylor had founded his company in 1798. Their subjects covered agriculture, chemistry, education, engineering, geography, law, mathematics, medicine, and social sciences.{{cite book|author1=Brock, W.H.|author2=Meadows, A.J.|name-list-style=amp|title=The Lamp of Learning: Taylor & Francis and Two Centuries of Publishing|url=https://archive.org/details/lampoflearningtw0000broc|url-access=registration|publisher=Taylor & Francis|date=1998|isbn=9780748402656}} Publications included the Philosophical Magazine.
Francis's son, Richard Taunton Francis (1883–1930), was sole partner in the firm from 1917 to 1930.{{cite book|title=Biographical Index of Former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783–2002|date=July 2006|publisher=The Royal Society of Edinburgh|isbn=0-902-198-84-X|url=https://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp1.pdf|access-date=3 June 2016|archive-date=24 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130124115814/http://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp1.pdf|url-status=dead}}
=Acquisitions and mergers=
In 1965, Taylor & Francis launched Wykeham Publications and began book publishing. T&F acquired Hemisphere Publishing in 1988, and the company was renamed Taylor & Francis Group to reflect the growing number of imprints. Taylor & Francis left the printing business in 1990, to concentrate on publishing. In 1998 it went public on the London Stock Exchange and in the same year bought its academic publishing rival Routledge for £90 million. Acquisition of other publishers has remained a core part of the group's business strategy. It merged with Informa in 2004 to create a new company called T&F Informa, since renamed back to Informa. Following the merger, T&F closed the historic Routledge office at New Fetter Lane in London, and moved to its current headquarters in Milton Park, Oxfordshire.{{cite web|url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/tf-and-informa-merge-books-unit-move|title=T&F and Informa merge, books unit to move|date=2 March 2004|access-date=16 March 2017|archive-date=27 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127105856/https://www.thebookseller.com/news/tf-and-informa-merge-books-unit-move|url-status=live}}

Taylor & Francis reported a mean 2017 gender pay gap of 24.2% for its UK workforce, while the median was 8%. The fact that the average pay for women is significantly worse than the median pay (compared to men's) shows that women are underrepresented in the positions with the highest pay.{{cite web|title=Four more academic publishers reveal gender pay gaps|url=https://www.thebookseller.com/news/tf-wiley-sage-and-cup-reveal-gender-pay-gap-data-759561|first=Benedicte|last=Page|date=2018-03-29|website=thebookseller.com|access-date=11 August 2019|archive-date=11 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811075435/https://www.thebookseller.com/news/tf-wiley-sage-and-cup-reveal-gender-pay-gap-data-759561|url-status=live}}

Taylor & Francis has faced criticism for its use of author licensing agreements, and several of their journals have been criticized or retracted papers due to concerns over review and publishing practices.

=Manipulation of bibliometrics=
Self-citation is a practice that can inflate the seeming prestige of a journal or group. In 2020, six T&F journals were found by analytics company Clarivate that exhibited unusual levels of self-citation, and as a consequence they were suspended from Journal Citation Reports and saw a drop in their journal impact factors.{{cite web|first=Ivan|last=Oransky|access-date=2020-07-01|title=Major indexing service sounds alarm on self-citations by nearly 50 journals|url=https://retractionwatch.com/2020/06/29/major-indexing-service-sounds-alarm-on-self-citations-by-nearly-50-journals/|date=2020-06-29|archive-date=29 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629225455/https://retractionwatch.com/2020/06/29/major-indexing-service-sounds-alarm-on-self-citations-by-nearly-50-journals/|url-status=live}} An April 2022 article in the T&F journal Accountability in Research outlined some of the factors leading to consistent suspension from Journal Citation Reports.{{Cite journal |last=Moussa |first=Salim |date=2022-05-06 |title=A bibliometric investigation of the journals that were repeatedly suppressed from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08989621.2022.2071154 |journal=Accountability in Research |volume=30 |issue=8 |language=en |pages=592–612 |doi=10.1080/08989621.2022.2071154 |pmid=35469511 |s2cid=248390507 |issn=0898-9621 |access-date=25 May 2022 |archive-date=25 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220525172555/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08989621.2022.2071154 |url-status=live }}
= Antitrust lawsuit =
In September 2024, Lucina Uddin, a neuroscience professor at UCLA, sued Taylor & Francis along with five other academic journal publishers in a proposed class-action lawsuit, alleging that the publishers violated antitrust law by agreeing not to compete against each other for manuscripts and by denying scholars payment for peer review services.{{Cite news |last=Scarcella |first=Mike |date=2024-09-13 |title=Academic publishers face class action over 'peer review' pay, other restrictions |url=https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/academic-publishers-face-class-action-over-peer-review-pay-other-restrictions-2024-09-13/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240914212841/https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/academic-publishers-face-class-action-over-peer-review-pay-other-restrictions-2024-09-13/ |archive-date=2024-09-14 |access-date=2024-09-15 |work=Reuters}}{{Cite web |last=Abdur-Rahman |first=Sulaiman |date=2024-09-13 |title='Illegal Conspiracy'?: EDNY Antitrust Class Action Challenges Publishers' Unpaid Peer Review Rule |url=https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2024/09/13/illegal-conspiracy-edny-antitrust-class-action-challenges-publishers-unpaid-peer-review-rule/?slreturn=20240815103952 |url-access=registration |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240913230833/https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2024/09/13/illegal-conspiracy-edny-antitrust-class-action-challenges-publishers-unpaid-peer-review-rule/ |archive-date=2024-09-13 |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=New York Law Journal |language=en}}
=COI between climate research and fossil fuel industry=
Taylor & Francis is a publisher of climate change research, but they partnered with ExxonMobil, an oil and gas company. Climate scientists are concerned that this conflict of interest could undermine the credibility of climate science because they believe that fossil fuel extraction and climate action are incompatible.{{cite news |title=Revealed: leading climate research publisher helps fuel oil and gas drilling |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/24/elsevier-publishing-climate-science-fossil-fuels |author=

AI rights controversy
In 2024, Taylor & Francis was criticized after selling access to its authors' research to Microsoft as part of an AI partnership. The deal, which allows Microsoft non-exclusive access to content and data to improve AI systems, was made without informing or seeking consent from the authors whose work was involved. Academics expressed surprise and concern upon learning about the agreement, citing issues of transparency, fair compensation, and the potential impact on academic research. The Society of Authors raised concerns about publishers entering such deals without consulting creators, emphasizing the need to protect authors' rights and consider the broader implications for the creative industries.{{Cite web |title=Academic authors 'shocked' after Taylor & Francis sells access to their research to Microsoft AI |url=https://www.thebookseller.com/news/academic-authors-shocked-after-taylor--francis-sells-access-to-their-research-to-microsoft-ai |access-date=2024-07-23 |website=The Bookseller |language=En}}
