Open access

All titles are published in paperback and PDF, and some are also sold as e-books (EPUB or Kindle). Wherever possible, the PDF is open access under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licences (CC BY or CC BY-NC-ND).

Open access depends on funding. Many titles are supported through our partnership with Knowledge Unlatched. For others, authors may need to secure funding through research grants, institutional support, or national funding schemes. Some reprinted or translated works cannot be open access because of existing copyrights and permissions from their original publishers.

Translation

Authors are responsible for securing translation funding, with administrative support from HAU. Authors without dedicated funding are welcome to contact us about our Framework for Hybrid Translation, a coproduction model combining AI-assisted drafts with expert revision.

Review and desk copies

Please request copies from the University of Chicago Press Publicity Department at press_publicity@uchicago.edu. Include the book title and author, your name and publication, and your mailing address.
