Publication Charge Policy	HUP evaluates manuscripts solely on the basis of their academic merit and we welcome submissions by academics globally. Manuscripts recommended for publication by peer reviewers and the Press’s Academic Board can be published without book processing charges. If the author/project has funding for publishing/open-access publishing, HUP requests a fee of €6,000 to cover publication costs. This way the Press and its authors support developing sustainable financial models for OA publishing.

Peer Review Process Link
Peer Review Policy	HUP ensures that all publications undergo a rigorous peer‐review process. We aim to make the review process as efficient as possible whilst maintaining a high quality of reviewer feedback. Book proposals are reviewed by at least one external expert, and the review period is expected to take around six to eight weeks. With full manuscripts, there are at least two external experts and the review period can vary between ten to fourteen weeks, depending on reviewers’ individual schedules.HUP’s book review process is double anonymous. Each referee receives an anonymous manuscript for review, and the identities of the referees are not revealed to the author(s). Exceptions may be made by mutual prior agreement.For journals, HUP also allows different options of peer review, such as open review and triple‐blind review – at the discretion of the journal’s editorial team.
