University of Białystok Press

Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku (the University of Białystok Press) is the academic publishing house of the University of Białystok in Poland. Its origins trace to 1972, when it began operating as the Publishing Section (Sekcja Wydawnicza) of the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw. When that branch gained independence in 1997 and the University of Białystok was established, the press became the publishing arm of the new university and broadened its catalogue to include academic textbooks, scholarly journals, edited volumes and conference proceedings from the university's newly formed faculties, chairs and institutes. Today the press publishes books, journals and dissertations across a wide range of disciplines, with particular emphasis on teaching materials in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and economics. Its output includes textbooks, monographs, collective works, information guides and periodicals. According to the Polish Wikipedia entry, the press issues roughly 60 titles a year with a combined print run of about 15,000 copies. The catalogue is organised by subject areas that mirror the university's academic profile: biology and chemistry; economics, finance and management; Polish philology; foreign philologies; philosophy; history and international relations; mathematics and physics; cultural and religious studies; pedagogy and psychology; sociology and law; theology; and other fields. The press also publishes journals and makes downloadable materials available to authors. As a university press, it operates under the University of Białystok and is listed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Ministerstwo Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego). It supports scholarly publishing practices including peer review, publication ethics, DOI assignment and Open Access through the university's repository (RUB). Its website provides guidance for authors on publication priority, publishing procedure, editorial requirements, scientific review and author declarations, and it sells titles both online and for personal collection.

The publishing operation that became Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku began in 1972 as the Publishing Section (Sekcja Wydawnicza) of the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw. In that period it served the publishing needs of the branch, which operated as part of the University of Warsaw. In 1997 the Białystok Branch gained independence and the University of Białystok was established. The press then became the publishing house of the new university. Its publishing offer was expanded at that time to include academic textbooks, scholarly journals, edited volumes and materials from conferences held at the newly created faculties, chairs and institutes. Since then the press has continued to publish books, journals and dissertations across various fields of science, with particular emphasis on teaching materials in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and economics. In addition to textbooks, monographs, collective works and information guides, it issues periodicals. According to the Polish Wikipedia entry, approximately 60 titles are published annually with a total print run of about 15,000 copies. The press operates under the University of Białystok and is listed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Its current website organises titles by subject categories such as biology and chemistry; economics, finance and management; Polish philology; foreign philologies; philosophy; history and international relations; mathematics and physics; cultural and religious studies; pedagogy and psychology; sociology and law; theology; and other fields. It also publishes journals and provides downloadable materials for authors. Its author-facing procedures reference the Polish Copyright Act, a resolution of the University of Białystok Senate (Uchwała nr 3107 of 28 September 2022) on publication priority, scientific monograph standards, publication ethics, the publishing procedure, editorial requirements, scientific review, DOI assignment and Open Access via the university repository (RUB). The press also maintains information on awards and distinctions and offers online and in-person purchasing.
