History
The National Taiwan University Press was founded in 1996. Its predecessor was the publishing group of the educational department of the University. It soon developed into a leading academic press in Taiwan. [5][6]
At the 2022 Taipei International Book Exhibition, the NTU Press impressed the visitors with its professional publications and excellent souvenirs.[6]
So far, NTU Press has published more than seven hundred titles, including scholarly works, textbooks, general readings, and multimedia publications. It employs the strict anonymous reviews by scholars and experts to determine whether a work is qualified for publication. Each book is rigorously reviewed before its publication, using scholarship contribution as the strictest yardstick. [3][7]
Bookstores and distribution
National Taiwan University Press has three bookstores, including the Gallery of NTU History Bookstore, the Main Campus Bookstore and the Shuiyuan Campus Bookstore.[8] Online platforms are also available for global distribution. In addition, there is the National Taiwan University Journals Database and E-Book Publication.[9]
The NTU Press also helmed the annual Taipei International Book Exhibition many times.[10][6]
Academic cooperation
NTU Press has close cooperation with Academia Sinica for academic publication, especially with its Institutes of Chinese Literature and Philosophy, Sociology and Taiwan History. International cooperation is another priority for NTU Press. For example, six Mandarin-language books have been published for the NTU Harvard-Yenching Institute Academic Series.[1][2]
