Leaders in Online Research and Scholarship
The University of Chicago Press publishes nearly fifty scholarly journals
and annuals, many on behalf of some of the world's most prestigious
societies. Its first scholarly publication was the Journal of Political
Economy, introduced in 1892. More than a century later, the Journals
Division went online in 1995. By 2004, all journals published by the
University of Chicago Press were available in both a print and online
edition.
