| AdminHistory | The Books and Special Project Group (BSPG) was a subgroup of the British Psychological Society's Standing Committee on Publications. It ran in parallel with a Journals Group. The BSPG took over a number of roles from the BPS/001/12/04/01/02 Business SubCommittee of the Standing Committee on Publications 1979-1983. The BPSG was superseded by the Editorial Support Group in c. 2001 when a contract was signed with Wiley to publish BPS books. |
