About UOW Press

The University Press combines a small team of scholars to oversee selection and review of manuscripts with the marketing and distribution expertise of Sydney’s long established Halstead Press. This symbiosis provides professional and commercial experience to the university and an increased involvement in academic publishing for Halstead.

History

The University Press has existed for over two decades - in that time a range of scholarly monographs and edited conference papers have been published. During much of this time commercial distribution was handled by an agent. These arrangements relied on the enthusiasm of a few individual academics, and in 2003 the University resolved to upgrade the operation of the Press with a formal structure of Editorial and Management Boards and seeding funding to establish the collaboration with Halstead. 

Policy

The University of Wollongong Press seeks to disseminate exciting scholarship, showcasing its own research strengths and work from elsewhere relating to these areas of interest.
