About the Press

 

Urbino University Press publishes Open Access books. The monographs are published within the University Press series, each with a scientific committee assessing their scientific quality criteria. Each publication is included within a UUP series.

The Open Monograph publishing platform covers all stages of the editorial process for a text, from proposal to review to publication in various digital and print formats. 

A Print on Demand service is also available, allowing the printing of volumes upon request. Libraries interested in purchasing volumes can find more information here.
