Penn State University Press

Penn State University Press is the scholarly publishing arm of Pennsylvania State University, founded in 1956, and it publishes academic books and journals across art history, philosophy, religious studies, medieval studies, political science and Latin American studies. Like most university presses it operates on a scale that would be commercially impossible without institutional support, publishing monographs whose print runs are measured in hundreds because scholarly value rather than sales determines what is worth publishing. Based at University Park, Pennsylvania, it also hosts journals for scholarly societies and participates in open access publishing programmes.
