De Gruyter is pleased to announce its global strategic partnership in e-book distribution with Central European University Press (CEUP). De Gruyter will house and distribute the entire editorial portfolio of the press through degruyter. com, that is, about 500 frontlists, backlists and archival titles. One hundred archival titles not available in the past will be digitized as e-books through De Gruyter.
The CEUP was founded in 1993 and is known for its challenging books on communism and the history, politics, culture and economy of Central and Eastern Europe. The press is committed to publishing books that analyze the transition to democracy in the region and offer a local attitude. The campus of the University of Central Europe moved from Budapest to Vienna in 2018 after being under pressure from the Hungarian government and the press now maintains a presence at any of the sites.
This partnership combines the e-book distribution strategy shown by De Gruyter with CEUP’s cutting-edge technique for open access publishing. Ceup will enroll in 18 other educational publishers in the De Gruyter University Press Library, a style of e-book acquisition aimed at all virtual production of spouse publishers at the collection level, without DRM and without restrictions on multi-user access.
“We are proud to partner with a press that is committed to new initiatives,” said Steve Fallon, Vice President of America and Strategic Marriages for De Gruyter. “The addition of CEUP to our university press library strengthens our history and political science portfolio by adding content on the history of communism and dictatorship. We are privileged to offer international visibility and distribution of CEUP content in accordance with the De Gruyter’s Values and Mission. More exciting things are ahead and we are excited to celebrate this long-awaited relationship. “
“Our partnership with De Gruyter will bring to market a separate offering from CEUP’s full collection of nearly 500 titles, adding traditionally significant newly digitized titles that were not in the past as e-books,” said Emily Poznanski, Director of Central European University Press. “CEUP is committed to the evolution of its list of monographs towards equitable open access with an organization of committed partners through Opening the Future. As a small press with a big mission, we want to diversify our profit streams transitioning to open access, and De Gruyter’s university press library enables this change. “
