In 1998 the Siberian Publishing and Book-Selling Enterprise «Nauka» of RAS Academic Publishing Centre (APC) «Nauka» was reorganized in three divisions: Siberian Publishing Company (SPC) «Nauka», Siberian Polygraphic Enterprise (SPE) «Nauka» (printing office № 4), and Siberian wholesale-retail office of the commercial firm «Akademkniga» with five bookshops. This separation led to significant changes in the activities of SPC «Nauka». Although not a legal successor, nevertheless it has been created on the basis of the former Publishing House «Nauka». Neither at the moment of SPC creation, nor later owned it any property. Its material-technical basis was formed by the fixed assets that had been leased out by the Publishing House «Nauka» acting out as an asset holder. Therefore the most actual problems faced by the SPC «Nauka» were modernization of the available equipment, its technical retrofitting, as well as rental of premises. At the moment of creation of the SPC «Nauka» its publishing portfolio was generally formed with works that were left unfinished by the Publishing House «Nauka» although it had signed contracts for their publication with the institutes of the Siberian Branch of RAS and other customers at different times. Later it was replenished with works prepared to publication under the contracts signed by the SPC «Nauka». Its work has been and remains focused on publishing the scientific editions in cooperation with academic institutions and other organizations of SB RAS. One of the areas covered by the SPC “Nauka” focuses on enhancing every kind of contacts, first of all, with academic structures of SB RAS in the field of academic publishing across all regions of Siberia.
