Program Overview

Göttingen University Press is the self-contained publishing facility of the Georg August University, Göttingen. We publish documents from scholars who are associated with the Göttingen University. We give assistance to the authors to publish their works electronically and as printed copies. Our aim is to offer free access to as many publications as possible. The Göttingen University Press also seeks to publish reviewed high-quality books that due to their specialised nature will not easily be accepted by commercial publishing houses.

Publishing Activities

Types of publications: conference papers and proceedings, faculty; educational resources (ex. textbooks, course modules); journals, contracted by external groups; monographs; theses; reports and working papers; research data sets.

Partners

Openness to working with external partners: focus on internal, external if there is a tie to campus

Best publications to refer to our program: The library-run university press focuses on open access books but starts to run journals, non-book periodicals, and database publishing.
