University Press

The Chemnitz University Press is operated by the University Library on behalf of Chemnitz University of Technology. The aim of the University Press is to support members in scientific publishing in printed and electronic form. The goal is to ensure the fast, cost-effective and long-term availability of the published titles in a standardised appearance that is orientated towards the corporate design of Chemnitz University of Technology. With hybrid publishing, authors receive a printed publication supplemented by the current and worldwide distribution of the electronic version.

On the basis of the print-on-demand process, the University Press offers the production of a cost-effective print publication in cooperation with an external service provider.

The University Press is committed to the Open Access concept and is embedded in the University Library's Open Access Service. It promotes the free accessibility of all its own publications in accordance with the Berlin Declaration through parallel, free and permanent online publication on the document and publication server MONARCH-Qucosa of Chemnitz University of Technology.

Authors only grant the University Press a simple right of use to the electronic version of their publication so that they can also distribute their texts elsewhere. The publications in the University Press are made available under the Creative Commons licenses CC BY or CC BY-SA.

The University Press is a member of the AG Universitäsverlage.

The University Press is available to all scientists at the Chemnitz University of Technology who are the authors of a publication. The University Press is particularly recommended for the publication of conference reports, anthologies or doctoral thesis. Also bachelor thesis and master thesis can - with the consent of the supervising university professor - be published via the University Press. The publications can appear both as individual issues and in serial publication series.
