Established in 2021, Radboud University Press is a publisher of high-quality academic peer-reviewed books and journals across a wide range of disciplines.
The 'Diamond' label means that Radboud University Press offers open-access publications that are free for both authors and readers. Meeting the highest academic standards is the primary goal. The main principle of publishing at Radboud University Press is that authors retain full ownership of their copyrights.
Together with other university presses, we form a collaborative network of progressive, open-access academic publishers: Netherlands University Presses (NUPs). Our goal is to help shape the future of open-access publishing in the Netherlands and beyond, ensuring that knowledge remains a public good, accessible to everyone.
We collaborate with the national Open Journals platform. Open Journals provides a professional open access publishing platform for scientific, peer-reviewed journals. Radboud University Press maintains this platform in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the OPuS Foundation, a non-profit foundation dedicated to open access publications.
