Ylym

Ylym (Turkmen for "science") is a Turkmen state scientific publishing house based in Ashgabat. It was founded in February 1952 as the publishing house of the Academy of Sciences of the Turkmen SSR, continuing the print output previously issued by the Turkmen branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In November 1963 it was merged with the Turkmenistan publishing house and placed under the State Committee for Publishing of the Turkmen SSR, a period in which its output fell sharply; on 1 October 1966 it returned to the Academy of Sciences of the Turkmen SSR. After Turkmenistan gained independence, it continued to operate under the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan. The publisher's output is scholarly and scientific. Between the 1950s and 1980s it issued 20,616 accounting-and-publishing sheets of printed matter, of which 17,268 sheets were books and pamphlets. Its catalogue includes fundamental monographs such as the two-volume History of the Turkmen SSR (1957), the History of Agriculture and the Peasantry of Soviet Turkmenistan (1979), and the six-volume History of Turkmen Literature (1967–1982). It also published scientific journals including the Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of the Turkmen SSR (in physical-technical, chemical and geological sciences; biological sciences; and social sciences series), the Works of the South Turkmenistan Archaeological Complex Expedition (from volume 3), and Problems of Desert Development. In addition, it produced thematic collections, dictionaries, reference works and popular-science pamphlets. Ylym remains active as a state-owned publisher under the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, with its institutional page hosted on the Turkmenistan science portal. Its role is to publish the academy's research and related scholarly literature in Turkmenistan.

Ylym was created in February 1952 as the publishing house of the Academy of Sciences of the Turkmen SSR. It continued the production of printed matter that had previously been issued by the Turkmen branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In November 1963 the publishing house was merged with the Turkmenistan publishing house and placed under the State Committee for Publishing of the Turkmen SSR; during this period the volume of its publications fell sharply. On 1 October 1966 the publishing house returned to the jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences of the Turkmen SSR. After Turkmenistan gained independence, it continued to operate under the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan. Over the 1950s–1980s the publishing house issued 20,616 accounting-and-publishing sheets of printed matter, of which 17,268 sheets were books and pamphlets. It published fundamental monographs including the two-volume History of the Turkmen SSR (1957), the History of Agriculture and the Peasantry of Soviet Turkmenistan (1979), and the six-volume History of Turkmen Literature (1967–1982). It also issued scientific journals such as the Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of the Turkmen SSR (series on physical-technical, chemical and geological sciences; biological sciences; and social sciences), the Works of the South Turkmenistan Archaeological Complex Expedition (from volume 3), and Problems of Desert Development. It also produced thematic collections, dictionaries, reference works and popular-science pamphlets. Output by decade, including material issued by the Turkmen branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, was approximately 500 accounting-and-publishing sheets in the 1940s, about 3,000 in the 1950s, about 5,500 in the 1960s, and about 7,500 in the 1970s.
