Henry VIII’s Letters Patent of 1534. Bringing authors and readers together Authors and readers are the life-blood of any publisher and it is our primary objective to bring them together in the act of publishing.
Across the whole range of our publishing, from starter-level English language materials for learners worldwide, through curriculum-orientated textbooks and e-resources, to the most specialised academic research, we make every single publication count to further learning through excellence in authorship, editing, production and technological innovation.
Governance The Press Syndicate is the governing body of Cambridge University Press, consisting of eighteen senior members of the University of Cambridge who oversee the Press’s business and who must give their formal approval to all titles published, from wherever in the world they originate.
A meeting of the Press Syndicate in the Oriel Room of the Pitt Building. A world leader in academic publishing We publish thousands of new academic and professional books every year across almost the full range of academic subjects.
Our list is unrivalled anywhere in its depth, breadth, and consistent commitment to quality, with rigorous peer review at the core of our publishing processes. Our academic authors come from all five continents and range from junior faculty to Nobel Laureates, and we also publish increasing numbers of medical, legal and engineering professionals.
Scientists from Sir Isaac Newton to Professor Stephen Hawking have published with Cambridge, as have humanists from John Milton to Noam Chomsky. We also publish for major organisations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the World Trade Organisation and the International Committee of the Red Cross. We publish research monographs, academic reference, textbooks, books for professionals, and large numbers of paperbacks aimed at graduate students. We also publish a small number of accessible trade books each year aimed at general readers outside the higher educational sector.
Short-run digital printing technology enables us to reprint a single copy on demand, allowing many Cambridge publications to remain in print indefinitely. In recent years we have used this technology to revive thousands of works of enduring scholarly value, by a programme of paperback revivals and through the Cambridge Library Collection, which includes books first published as far back as 1640.
University Publishing Online, launched in 2012, provides access to e-books from the world-renowned publishing programmes of our partner presses. Cambridge English Our English language teaching (ELT) publishing group aims to provide inspiring products and services for teaching and learning the English language. Through a collaborative process involving teachers, learners and the world’s leading authors we produce solutions that contribute to the raising of standards.
Our blended learning offering, Touchstone, reaches hundreds of thousands of learners, including many who would otherwise have little or no access to a complete learning experience. Partnered with our sister-organisation, Cambridge English Language Assessment, we publish, as Cambridge Exams Publishing, the official preparation and practice materials across all media for the world’s leading exams. The world’s best-selling ELT grammar book, English Grammar in Use, is now available online for learners everywhere, whilst teachers can meet up and develop professionally online through our Cambridge English Teacher website.
Cambridge has a choice of courses and supplementary materials at every level and age-range, underpinned by our authoritative research in the areas of corpus development and English Profile – the programme that describes the language behind the Common European Framework. Be it in British, American, or ‘international’ English, our list is therefore continuously relevant, and trusted throughout the profession. Publishing the latest in thinking and research Cambridge Journals publishes over 350 renowned, peer-reviewed journals, including journals published on behalf of around 100 learned societies, which offer the latest in research and discovery across a range of topics. Many of these journals are the leading academic publications in their fields and together they form one of the most valuable and comprehensive collections of research available today.
Across the world, Cambridge Journals are available in print and online – keeping scientists, researchers and scholars abreast of crucial developments in research. Education and schools Cambridge is a leading global educational publisher for schools and colleges across the world. We develop market-leading blended materials for specific local curricula in Africa, Australia, India, New Zealand, the Caribbean and the UK. We are the world’s leading publisher in international examinations for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and the International Baccalaureate (IB).
The Bible – continuity and change Our unique heritage of Bible publishing provides the strongest link between the past, present and future of Cambridge publishing. The world’s oldest Bible publisher, we produced our first edition in 1591 – the Bible of Shakespeare, Bunyan and the first English settlers of America. Cambridge is still renowned for our range and quality of fine Bibles produced in traditional and familiar styles. As well as the magisterial texts of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James Version, which we have published continuously since the 17th Century, we now offer a range of highly acclaimed editions in a variety of modern translations. A global presence With branches, offices and agents throughout the world, the Press today is able to draw on a remarkable range of authors (currently over 50,000 from over 190 countries) and to market and distribute material (both print and electronic) to readers everywhere. Over 2,000 staff in over 50 offices service an inventory of over 50,000 in-print titles (of which around 24,000 are also available as e-books).
Environmental commitment Cambridge University Press takes its responsibility to the environment very seriously, and our UK operation has been certified with ISO 14001, a prestigious international standard that demonstrates our commitment to reduce the impact of our business on the environment.
Cambridge University Press in the community We serve communities of learners, educators and researchers not only through our publishing output, but also through our people. Where we have resources, skills and expertise, we aim to use them in imaginative ways that achieve real benefits for us all: the communities we support, the reputation of our organisation, and our own people. Colleagues around the world annually give over 1,700 hours of volunteering time to schools and crèches, libraries and reading schemes, environmental projects and charities, homeless shelters and hospitals.
