University press
Encyclopedia
A university press is an academic, nonprofit publishing house that is typically affiliated with a large research university, and publishes work that has been reviewed by scholars in the field. It produces mainly scholarly works. Because scholarly books are mostly unprofitable, university presses may also publish textbooks and reference works, which tend to have larger audiences and sell more copies. Most university presses operate at a loss and are, perforce, subsidized by their parent universities. However, certain presses, notably Yale University Press
, are self-sufficient, often because of endowments
.
Oxford University Press
and Cambridge University Press
are the two largest university presses in the world. The largest university press in the United States
is the University of Chicago Press
. The Cambridge University Press is both the oldest publishing house in the world and the oldest university press.
University presses tend to develop specialized areas of expertise. For example, Yale publishes many art
books, the University of Chicago publishes many academic journals, the University of Illinois press specializes in labor history
, and MIT Press publishes linguistics
