Supporting the academic community

Our priority is to ensure the highest academic standards are met consistently in our publishing. Our charitable status allows us to offer a total commitment to academic excellence, free of short-term shareholder demands.

Open Research

As a university press and not-for-profit publisher, we are working in partnership with the communities we serve to help shape the future of scholarly communication. We are pioneering new approaches that are sustainable and maintain our reputation for quality and excellence. All communities around the world must be able to benefit from open research, irrespective of funding levels or other inequalities.

We’re committed to making all our journal content available open access reflecting the belief that the pursuit of knowledge benefits directly from collaboration, transparency, rapid dissemination and accessibility.

Diversity & Inclusivity

Cambridge University Press is committed to embedding diversity, removing barriers to inclusion, and promoting equity at every stage of our publishing process. We actively seek and encourage submissions from scholars of diverse backgrounds, including race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, and disability.

Environment

As an organisation we are committed to reducing our energy-related emissions  to zero-carbon globally by 2048, with a 70% reduction by 2030. Read more about our environmental goals.

We are working with our publishing partners on a sustainable future while reducing our print components, which are the single biggest contributor to our carbon footprint in journals.
