Publishing partners journal publishing partnerships

Expert full-service support for your journals

We partner with more than 220 societies, universities and associations worldwide to deliver trusted editorial support, peer review, production, marketing and strategic journal development. As the oldest university press, we combine the reach and scale of a commercial publisher with the care and tailored support of an academically driven not-for-profit. Our collaborative approach helps your journals thrive. We’ll help you grow your journal’s reputation, readership, and revenue.

Our publishing services

Your journal’s development is at the heart of our publishing service. No two partners are the same, so neither is our support. You’ll work directly with experienced teams who know your discipline and understand society publishing. With open communication, tailored workflows and clear reporting, you always have a detailed view of your journal’s performance and opportunities for growth.

Here’s what you can expect when you partner with us:
