The Association of University Presses (AUPresses) has unveiled the latest version of its Subject Area Grid, a widely used resource offering a detailed overview of 130 subject areas covered by over 140 member publishers worldwide. The grid is available as a free, downloadable spreadsheet that can be easily sorted by subject or publisher, making it a valuable tool for prospective authors, researchers, librarians, bibliographers, and publishers.
Updated for the first time since 2021, the Subject Area Grid highlights the breadth of subjects published by university presses. It identifies publishers with active programs acquiring new works in specific fields as well as those maintaining in-print backlists. The 130 subject areas encompass a wide range of topics, including sub-specialties, regional focuses, and emerging disciplines.
The Association encourages users to consult individual publishers’ websites and catalogs for more detailed information about specific publishing interests, as the grid provides a high-level overview.
This resource is designed to streamline the process of identifying publishers aligned with specific academic and research interests. Whether authors are seeking the right publisher for a manuscript or librarians are exploring publishers for acquisitions, the grid serves as an essential guide to the academic publishing landscape.
The updated Subject Area Grid is available for immediate download on the AUPresses website. Its intuitive format ensures users can quickly find relevant information and connect with the publishers that best meet their needs.
