Aarhus University Press (Danish: Aarhus Universitetsforlag) is a commercial Foundation, founded in 1985 by Aarhus University, Denmark. The main purpose of the Press is to publish the scholarly works of researchers at the University, but many authors come from other Danish institutions of higher education and from abroad. The Press not only publishes scholarly works, but also disseminates works of intellectual merit and general interest to a broad reader audience. Common to all titles is their strong scholarly base, since all books are peer-reviewed.
