Most of our journals are indexed by major services such as Google Scholar, EBSCO and DOAJ. Detailed information about abstracting and indexing can be found on the individual journal pages. For an overview, visit our platform aup-online.com.
The number and format of complimentary copies vary from each project, but as a general rule, we supply:
Contributors to edited volumes will either receive one hard-complimentary copy and a PDF of their chapter or the eBook PDF and a PDF of their chapter, depending on the project.
Depending on your project, we will agree with you at the proposal stage on whether or not you will have images in your book. Images can increase the cost of your project. Extra costs often can be reduced by finding an external subsidy.
This is possible through Green Open Access. We support and actively encourage authors to share an appropriately credited author's version of academic book chapters, monographs and journal articles on institutional repositories, their personal website, and on websites such as ResearchGate or Academia.edu. The author’s version is the manuscript after peer-review and accepted for publication, for instance as Microsoft Word file, RTF or PDF, but not the AUP print proof or final PDF.
Yes. Most of our books are published simultaneously in print and digital format. Our journals are all published online; most also have a printed edition.
There is no charge to publish with us. However, depending on your needs and the project, we may ask for a subsidy to cover the extra costs that come with, for example, publishing in non-regular formats, the inclusion of images, or the requirement for special typesetting or extra copyediting. You will be able to discuss with the commissioning editor your needs and whether or not they require a subsidy.
For open access related costs, please visit our open access books and journals pages.

Delivery time is dependent on postal services and what you have ordered. Orders of Educational Textbooks, Journals, or Dutch-language Academic Books, are dispatched from the Netherlands. Orders of English-language Academic Books are dispatched from the UK. Due to the ongoing pandemic, delivery may take longer than usual depending on local restrictions.
Returns are only possible in the case of a damaged product, or one which had not been ordered. For full details on our return policy, please read 8.2 of our Terms and Conditions.
Effective February 1st 2021, our distributor, IPS UK, ship to EU customers under DAP incoterms, which means it is the customer's responsibility to clear customs and pay any relevant taxes. The import fee is approximately 20-25 EUR for orders up to 150 EUR and increases with the value of your order. This fee can vary from country to country, according to their customs and tax structures. Additionally, UPS, the carrier that delivers our books, charges customers an extra cost of £4.15 per carton as their fee for import administration costs.
This new system is unfortunately out of our control. However, we are in regular talks with IPS UK to closely monitor the situation and find improvements in distributing into the EU.
Dutch-language books and eBooks are not affected.
