About us
Masaryk University Press is one of the largest academic publishers in the Czech Republic. We publish over 400 scholarly books as well as 54 scientific journals annually. We serve both as the primary publisher of academic outputs of the Masaryk University and as a producer of books by Czech and foreign authors not directly related to the university. We specialize in scientific and professional literature, from purely academic to popular science non-fiction books. All manuscripts submitted for publication are reviewed thoroughly so we guarantee their professional quality and credibility.
Our mission is to make open to the public the research results and scientific findings from the university, to help to enhance the prestige of the university in the professional community and in the society at large, to maintain the quality and credibility of academic publications, and to build partnerships between publishers – especially from academia – at the international level.
We coordinate diverse publishing activities at the university
The authors working at the university submit their manuscripts to the editorial boards at their faculties. The publishing plans of individual faculties are subsequently approved by the university Editorial Board. Munipress prepare an editorial plan of its own which mainly consists of non-fiction titles aimed at the wider public. All the university books we publish carry the university ISBN and the ‘Munipress’ logo on the back and on the back cover.
