Publish with Us

IU Bloomington Libraries offers publishing services for IU faculty, students, and staff. We help the IU community create, share, curate, and preserve their original scholarly, creative, and educational works so that they reach the widest possible audience professionally and accessibly.

IUB Libraries specifically publishes IU-edited journals and IU-authored books, and its full range of publishing services includes support for 

  • production and design
  • publishing infrastructure
  • copyright
  • editing
  • quality control and certification
  • discoverability, distribution, and marketing
  • bibliometrics
  • preservation

We also offer instruction to help you get started. 

Rooted in core library values, IUB Libraries' publishing services differ from traditional scholarly and commercial presses by prioritizing diamond open-access publishing and author rights, by welcoming nontraditional scholarship, and by pushing the boundaries of scholarly publishing.
