No. Our open-access books are free to read and they generate no income. Our printed publications are made available at low cost, and any income is put back into helping us fund open-access publications. We are a not-for-profit publishing press.

Open access titles are available via a number of platforms to suit your needs. These currently include:

• Direct from DCU Press. All PDFs are hosted on Doras, DCU’s Research Repository
• By the chapter on JSTOR
• OAPEN
• Google Books

Print editions of DCU Press books are available as print-on-demand via Amazon.

DCU Press works with JSTOR’S open access books programme. As part of this programme, DCU Press books are preserved by Portico, a community-supported preservation archive that safeguards access to e-journals, e-books, and digital collections. They ensure that ensures that the content they preserve will remain accessible and usable for researchers, scholars, and students in the future. Both JSTOR and Portico are owned by ITHAKA, a US-based non-profit organisation.

DCU Press publications are also preserved via Doras, DCU’s Research Repository.
