Leiden University Press is a choice for academic quality and worldwide distribution. ScienceOpen is happy to support Leiden University Press in their mission and provide the right digital infrastructure for indexing and promoting their high-quality book scholarship.

LUP’s goal is to support and stimulate scholarship through academic publications. 

With a publishing program spanning several subject areas in social sciences, literature, media, and humanities, Leiden University Press joins ScienceOpen with a new book collection, which we will explore briefly in today’s blog.

Support in Digital Publishing

Leiden University Press focuses on several subject areas, including Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, History, Asian Studies, Environmental Studies, Literary Studies, Language, Media Studies, Security Studies and more. With an emphasis on quality, an editorial board, external peer review, and scholarly standards evaluate book proposals and manuscripts submitted to Leiden University Press.

Leiden University Press finds invaluable advantages in our new partnership with Science Open, fostering greater visibility and accessibility for our scholarly titles, enabling global engagement, and enhancing the impact of our publications.
