Founded in 1891, the University of Chicago Press is one of the oldest continuously operating university presses in the United States. From its inception, a primary goal of the Press has been to publish academic findings and analysis from scholars the world over.

The University of Chicago Press journals portfolio represents more than 70 scholarly publications that cover a wide range of disciplines from the humanities and the social sciences to the life and physical sciences. In addition to working with departments and faculty of the University of Chicago, the University of Chicago Press publishes and distributes influential scholarly publications on behalf of learned and professional societies and associations, foundations, museums, and other not-for-profit organizations. All are peer-reviewed journals of original scholarship, with readerships that include scholars, scientists, and practitioners as well as interested, educated individuals. With its roots firmly in the academy, the University of Chicago Press Journals continues to recognize the importance of the dissemination of important research among scholars. By expanding our reach to connect with intellectually engaged audiences across a variety of platforms and throughout academia and beyond, we look to lead the way into the future of scholarly publishing
