Amsterdam University Press (AUP) aims to support science through academic publications in print and open access, where the quality of these publications is our starting point. Similar to our parent institution, the University of Amsterdam, AUP consists of a critical, creative and international environment, an open atmosphere and a strong commitment to our community. AUP is continuously looking for new ways of academic publishing at a higher level and has been a longstanding supporter of the concept of open access publishing. Hence, AUP publishes nearly all of its books and journals in an open access context. As a publishing company AUP views open access as an opportunity to secure humanities and social science monographs earmarked for future publication.
