About Liverpool University Press

Liverpool University Press is the UK’s third oldest university press, with a distinguished history of publishing exceptional research since 1899, including the work of Nobel prize winners. We have rapidly expanded in recent years to become an award-winning academic publisher that produces approximately 150 books a year, 39 journals and a number of digital collections, specialising in literature, modern languages, history and film studies.

LUP has been publishing OA books for more than a decade. We continue to explore OA opportunities and engage in discussions about OA with research funders, universities, academics and other publishers to improve the service we provide and uphold our aim of publishing the very best scholarship for and from the academic community.

About our Opening the Future Programme

We're offering libraries anywhere in the world subscription/membership access to a choice of two Hispanic Studies backlist series of monographs. In return LUP will use the subscription fees to produce new Open Access monographs, freely accessible to all. 

Liverpool University Press is internationally recognised for an outstanding modern/Romance languages publishing programme. Opening the Future builds on our commitment to disseminating exceptional research globally. By harnessing the power of collective library funding no single institution bears a disproportionate burden.
