Publishing as a Guide to Scholarship, Linking Research with the Classroom

National Taiwan University (NTU) Press publishes primarily academic works, together with various textbooks and general titles. Each book is rigorously reviewed and professionally edited before its publication.

Stressing High-Quality Academic Books, Providing Expert Textbook Publishing

In the humanities and social sciences, the influence of academic books reaches far beyond that of individual articles. But due to the lack of a creditable review mechanism upon which practices of hiring, promotion or award-granting can be based, researchers are often reluctant to publish scholarly works. In view of this, NTU Press is dedicated to printing books that have undergone thorough evaluation. By using contribution to scholarship as the strictest yardstick, it provides a platform that gives researchers the recognition they deserve.

Furthermore, in order to enhance teaching effectiveness NTU Press has added a series of textbooks to its lists since 2012. Emphasis is directed to the diversity of subject matter as well as the balanced development of the humanities and natural sciences. With our experience in professional editing over the years, we not only offer authors a superior creative environment, but also encourage the use of nativist project materials to inspire greater interest in textbook writing and publishing.

The Press publishes the majority of its books in Chinese, supplemented by Japanese and Taiwan-related English titles. It welcomes potential contributors from all over the world to send scholarly works to the Press for publication.

Applying Rigorous Pre-Publication Reviews

The Press employs the highest standard of independent anonymous reviews by scholars and experts to determine whether a work is qualified for publication. The statement “This book has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication by National Taiwan University Press” on a book’s copyright page guarantees that it has undergone the most meticulous screening by the editing staff. All humanities, social science and natural science textbooks are also subject to evaluation of their respective contents.
