The Ubiquity Partner Network (UPN) is made up of fully independent university and society presses. By sharing the same infrastructure and back office services, the presses are able to run cost-efficiently and sustainably. UPN also provides an opportunity to share resources and experience, and to cascade content between presses, all of which result in much greater efficiency. The presses also contribute members to the UPN Steering Board, which determines the direction of the overall platform.
Press staff are encouraged to interact with each other in the Ubiquity Community portal, where they can ask questions and share experience and resources.
The first presses on the platform launched in 2014 and due to strong demand the network has been expanding ever since. Please contact us if your institution or society is interested in participating.
Partner Presses have their own fully re-branded websites, presenting the books, journals and data they publish in one place (see examples).
The university or society runs the front office operations of the press, with support from us. This typically involves the following activities:
We run the entire back office system for you on the UPN infrastructure, and provide a full stack of publishing services, as follows:
