Amsterdam University Press (AUP) is a university press that was founded in 1992 by the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It is based on the Anglo-Saxon university press model and operates on a not-for-profit basis. AUP publishes scholarly and trade titles in both Dutch and English, predominantly in the humanities and social sciences and has a publishing list of over 1400 titles.[1]
Objectives
AUP makes use of the peer reviewing system: submissions are assessed by an editorial board of expert scholars from Dutch and Flemish universities. AUP explicitly supports open access, and combines in its publishing policy the use of repositories and print-on-demand provisions with traditional printing.
Areas of publishing
AUP's stocklist currently comprises different academic disciplines, including language and literature, archaeology, management studies, cultural studies, film and media, art and art history, music and theatre studies, as well as social sciences, ranging from migration and integration to Asian studies. In addition, AUP is active in educational publishing for high school and higher education, as well as popular science.
Imprints
There are various imprints linked to AUP. Vossiuspers UvA publishes the works of the University of Amsterdam’s scholarse. Moreover, all inaugural lectures of UvA professors appear under this imprint. And in 2004, under the name Pallas Publications, AUP began a new service allowing authors, institutions, and organizations the opportunity to have their academic publications produced, distributed, and promoted.
Open access publishing in European networks
Since 2007, AUP has been active on a European level, as the coordinator of "Open Access Publishing in European Networks" (OAPEN). OAPEN is backed by the European Commission.[citation needed]
