About United Nations University Press
The United Nations University Press was the publishing division of the United Nations University in Tokyo. It focused on academic research and scholarly publications revolving around the mission of the United Nations. It published mostly in English. It closed in January 2014, and its publishing activities then ended. The university has since made its publications freely available online at UNU Collections. It was voluntarily funded by governments, development assistance agencies, foundations and other public- and private-sector sources.

Approaching United Nations University Press as an author
University presses publish scholarly monographs, regional titles and serious general nonfiction. Authors usually send a book proposal (overview, chapter outline, sample chapters, CV and market analysis) directly to the acquisitions editor for their field — check the press's subject list first. Manuscripts go through peer review before a contract is offered.
