Books

Publication and distribution of books in printed and digital format through Uppsala University Publications is mainly done in one of the series that together constitute Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis (AUU), but also through a large number of independent book series.

Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis

The goal of AUU's activities is to disseminate scientific works from Uppsala University, partly through the sale of printed books and partly digitally via DiVA with open access. The activities are led by an editorial committee appointed by the University's Vice-Chancellor and with representatives from all the University's faculties. Each series also has one or more series editors. The activities are coordinated together with other publishing activities (Uppsala University Publications) by the University Library.

A list of series within AUU can be found below.
