Background
Tampere University Press is a library-led academic publisher established in 1994. TUP has since published more than 350 books, most of which are available open access.
TUP started out as a traditional book publisher and flipped to open access in the beginning of 2016, becoming the first exclusively open access book publisher in Finland.
Our books are immediately available online and free to download in PDF format. This platform includes our newest publications and backlist starting from 2019. Older books (published 1996–2018) are available e.g. in Tampere University's Trepo repository.
TUP books are also available in print via selected online stores (paperback, print-on-demand). Our service provider for printing and distribution is Books on Demand GmbH.
