You are welcome to submit your manuscript or book proposal at any time.

We also welcome proposals for new book series!


Peer review procedure

In order to guarantee a high quality of publication, University of Tartu Press makes use of the peer-reviewing system. A manuscript that qualifies for publication is reviewed by one or two external peer-reviewers. For manuscripts submitted to book series, the reviewers are selected by the Editorial Board of the corresponding series. All series have international Advisory Boards, whose members also qualify as external reviewers. Series editors themselves do not act as principal reviewers, however in some cases they may act as second reviewers.

For monographs published outside series, the review procedure is organized by the editor-in-chief of the Press in co-operation with the Publishing Committee of the University of Tartu, using external reviewers.
