Academic Publishing

Cambridge University Press is one of the largest and most prestigious academic publishers in the world.

In both books and journals, the Cambridge imprint is a hallmark of the finest scholarly publishing and cutting-edge research, maintained through a commitment to the process of rigorous peer review.

By helping to pioneer developing technologies, we keep pace with the rapid changes in the market for books and journals, in print and in digital form. Recent developments include methods for keeping books in print for far longer than ever before and significant upgrades to the platforms used to deliver electronic content.

Academic publishing at Cambridge consists of the three longest-established areas of the Press's list: academic journals, academic books and Bibles.

Academic Journals

The range of Cambridge journals reflects the Press's aims as a scholarly publisher. Currently, over 240 journals are produced for the global market, publishing the latest research in subjects from architecture to world trade. Some are owned by the Press itself, while others are published on behalf of learned and professional societies.

Delivery of journal content via the internet has led to new markets opening up across the world. These include libraries operating together as consortia, and institutions in the developing world becoming able to access journals for the first time. Cambridge is active in all these markets and works with many organizations to bring journals to research institutions across the globe. From North America to Sub-Saharan Africa, the dedication of Cambridge University Press to advancing knowledge is visible within our journals, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

Academic Books

Cambridge University Press is widely respected as a world leader in publishing for subjects as diverse as astronomy, Shakespeare studies, economics, mathematics and politics. In the sciences, the Press has published authors from William Harvey and Isaac Newton, through Rutherford, Einstein and Schrödinger, to Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose and Nicholas Stern, alongside authoritative organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The Press publishes in such pioneering areas as bioinformatics, string theory, astrophysics and planetary science. In medicine, an already strong list in clinical reference publishing has expanded to include a new branch of exam-led and syllabus-led titles. In the humanities and social sciences, the Press publishes Umberto Eco, Amartya Sen, Richard Rorty, Wole Soyinka, Bjørn Lomborg and Noam Chomsky, together with agencies such as the World Trade Organization, Transparency International and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

A firm commitment to publishing for students underpins a strong and growing commitment to textbooks. Fast-developing lists in medicine, law and business studies form the core of an expanding programme of publishing for the professional market.The shelves of university libraries around the world testify to our strength in monographic and reference publishing, including the renowned Cambridge Histories, and many series of scholarly editions, from Immanuel Kant to Jane Austen. Cambridge University Press also publishes a suite of high quality, dynamic and innovative online products, collections and eBooks which offer lecturers, researchers and students a new dimension of access and usability to our extensive scholarly and educational content.

Bibles

Bible publishing provides a unique link between Cambridge's present, past and future. The first Cambridge Bible – an edition of the Geneva Bible – was published in 1591. As the oldest Bible publisher in the world, with an unrivalled tradition stretching back over four hundred years, Cambridge has a long-standing reputation for quality and craftsmanship.

Cambridge today is uniquely recognized and respected for fine Bibles produced in a traditional and familiar style. Over a hundred styles are available, now in a variety of modern translations as well as the King James Version and Book of Common Prayer which have been a constant feature for nearly four centuries.
