Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Press is the academic publishing arm of Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, operating from Cantoblanco in Madrid to disseminate research across the Spanish and international scholarly communities. It issues monographs, edited volumes, and journals that connect institutional research with networks centered on Spanish National Research Council, European Research Council, UNESCO, OECD, and disciplinary societies such as Real Academia Española and Colegio de España en París. The press participates in national and international book fairs including Feria del Libro de Madrid and collaborates with university presses such as Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Harvard University Press, and University of Chicago Press.
The press emerged alongside the expansion of Universidad Autónoma de Madrid during the late Franco era and the Spanish transition, paralleling reforms associated with the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and the reorganization of Spanish higher education. Early outputs reflected partnerships with research groups funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and projects under Plan Nacional de I+D+i, while later decades saw thematic series linked to international initiatives like Horizon 2020 and collaborations with institutions including Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and Complutense Professors' associations. The press adapted to digital transformation trends that engaged networks such as Redalyc and SciELO España.
Governance is structured within the administrative framework of Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and supervised by academic committees drawing members from departments including Departamento de Historia, Departamento de Filología Moderna, Departamento de Física Teórica, and Departamento de Biología. The editorial board includes representatives with affiliations to external bodies like Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Real Academia de la Historia, Asociación Española de Editores de Publicaciones Academicas, and international advisory members connected to European University Association and Association of University Presses. Policy aligns with national legal instruments such as the Ley Orgánica de Universidades and interfaces with funding agencies like Instituto de Salud Carlos III and foundations including Fundación Ramón Areces.
The program issues scholarly monographs, edited collections, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed journals covering subjects linked to specific departments and external research centers. Series correspond with thematic clusters like Iberian studies (linked to Real Academia Española and Biblioteca Nacional de España), environmental science collaborations with Instituto del Medio Ambiente, and law series associated with Tribunal Constitucional and Consejo General del Poder Judicial. The journals program includes titles edited in cooperation with research centers and learned societies such as Sociedad Española de Historia and Sociedad Española de Física, and publishes works by authors connected to institutions like Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad de Granada, Universidad de Zaragoza, Universidad del País Vasco, and international partners such as Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and University College London.
Manuscripts undergo editorial assessment coordinated by in-house editors and academic editors drawn from faculties including Facultad de Ciencias, Facultad de Derecho, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, and external referees affiliated with Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Max Planck Society, CNRS, and Smithsonian Institution. Peer review processes follow standards comparable to those adopted by Elsevier, Springer Nature, and the Council of Science Editors, employing double-blind or single-blind review as appropriate and conflict-of-interest policies consistent with guidelines from Committee on Publication Ethics. Editorial workflows integrate metadata practices consistent with CrossRef and indexing aims for databases including Web of Science, Scopus, and Dialnet.
Physical distribution uses national wholesalers and academic distributors collaborating with channels such as Casa del Libro and international book trade partners at fairs like Frankfurter Buchmesse and London Book Fair. Sales target university departments, research libraries such as Biblioteca Nacional de España and British Library, and consortia including CRUE libraries and international consortia subscribing to university press catalogues. The press negotiates rights and translations with agencies linked to publishers including Grupo Planeta and university presses like MIT Press for co-editions and foreign-language editions.
The press has developed digital publishing platforms and open access policies aligned with mandates from European Commission and funders such as Wellcome Trust and Gates Foundation, offering repository deposits in institutional repositories interoperable with OpenAIRE and indexing through Google Scholar. Projects include digitization partnerships with Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes and participation in national open access infrastructures like RECOLECTA and FECYT. Licensing follows Creative Commons practices compatible with funder mandates and interoperability with services such as DOAJ and OAPEN.
The catalog includes influential works by scholars affiliated with Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and collaborators from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Navarra, Instituto de Estudios Catalanes, Instituto Cervantes, Casa de Velázquez, and international figures associated with Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Université de Genève, Universität Heidelberg, and Università di Bologna. Topics span contributions to Iberian history, editions of classical texts, scientific monographs in biology and physics, and legal treatises used in courses at faculties such as Facultad de Medicina and Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales. Noteworthy authors and editors have included professors who have collaborated on projects with institutions like European University Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and research centers supported by the European Research Council.
