Publishing Partnerships
The University of Vermont Press collaborates with leading scholars and scholarly societies to develop innovative publishing projects. Affiliation with the University of Vermont is not a prerequisite for publishing with the UVM Press.
We partner with scholarly societies and their representatives to establish new, diamond open access journals or to transition existing journals to a diamond open access platform. We also partner with scholars at all career stages to develop books and book series in their areas of expertise.

Our Publishing Model
Our publishing model is built on shared responsibilities and a commitment not to profit, in any way, from published material. UVM Press collaborators agree to:
- Publish digitally under a diamond open access model, using Creative Commons licenses
- Utilize only the publishing platforms and resources provided by UVM Press
- Forgo all processing charges, subscription fees, and membership requirements associated with their published material
- Engage in a fair, rigorous peer review process
- Maintain a rolling publication schedule (for journal articles)
Our Services
Staffed by two editorial directors—one for the books division and one for the journals division—the UVM Press provides consultation, strategy, editorial, and production services on a case-by-case basis.
The UVM Press also provides access to, training on, and support services for the online publishing platform we use for journal article submissions, peer review, production, and publication.
