For Authors

Cappelen Damm Akademisk offers open access publishing of scholarly monographs, anthologies, journals and other works via its division Cappelen Damm Forskning. We take care of the peer-review process, editorial follow-up, publication and marketing.

We are an accredited “Level 1” publisher in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers, and therefore open access books published with us yield publication points in the Norwegian documentation system for research funding (also known as the “tellekantsystem”).

Publication with us will serve as a guarantee that the work has been subject to peer review and fulfills the strict requirements for scholarly publication.

Editorial Support

In practical terms, a monograph’s author or anthology’s editors will work closely with a responsible editor from the Cappelen Damm Forskning division on all stages of the project, from proposal to published book, including:

  • Contracts and agreements; fees and funding
  • Choosing the right license and other copyright matters
  • The peer-review process
  • Revision, copyediting and production-ready manuscripts
  • Proofreading and arriving at publication-ready files
  • A print edition, for print-on-demand
  • Marketing strategies and optimizing reach
