Edinburgh University Press is Scotland’s premier scholarly publisher of academic books and journals, and one of the leading university presses in the UK. Founded over 50 years ago, Edinburgh University Press publishes around 130 books a year in the humanities and social sciences and has a portfolio of around 40 academic journals. Because all new books and journals are assessed by the Press Committee – an expert team of scholars from the University of Edinburgh who specialize in the subjects that we publish – they enjoy the highest academic standards.
