Books
Publication and distribution of books in printed and digital format through Uppsala University Publications is mainly done in one of the series that together constitute Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis (AUU), but also through a large number of independent book series.
Publishing platform for peer reviewed books
Books that have undergone peer-review are published on our publishing platform Scholarly Books from Uppsala University Publications. All books published on this platform are indexed by international databases which improves discoverability.
Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis
The goal of AUU's activities is to disseminate scientific works from Uppsala University, partly through the sale of printed books and partly digitally via DiVA with open access. The activities are led by an editorial committee appointed by the University's Vice-Chancellor and with representatives from all the University's faculties. Each series also has one or more series editors. The activities are coordinated together with other publishing activities (Uppsala University Publications) by the University Library.
A list of series within AUU can be found below.

Kriterium – quality review and publication of scientific books
Kriterium is a collaboration between Swedish higher education institutions, book publishers, research funders and the National Library of Sweden with the aim of strengthening the status of scientific books in Sweden and internationally.
Kriterium offers a platform for reviewing, publishing and disseminating high-quality scientific books. The books are published both digitally with open access on Kriterium's book platform, and in printed format in collaboration with other publishers. It is also possible to combine review and digital publication through Kriterium with a printed publication within Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Kriterium accepts manuscripts intended for book publication from all Swedish higher education institutions. Publication through Kriterium is financed by participating universities. No costs are incurred by individual authors. Please contact uup@uu.se if you would like more information about Kriterium.
