Rice University Press

Rice University Press

The Rice University Press is a publishing house, a division of Rice University.

Relaunched in 2006 after a ten-year hiatus, it is noted for its unique all-digital platform. Rice's digital press operates just as a traditional press, up to a point. Manuscripts are solicited, reviewed, edited and resubmitted for final approval by an editorial board of prominent scholars. But rather than waiting for months for a printer to make a bound book, Rice University Press's digital files are instead run through Connexions, an open-source e-publishing platform. The technology offers authors a way to use multimedia — audio files, live hyperlinks or moving images — to craft dynamic scholarly arguments, and to publish on-demand original works in fields of study that are increasingly constrained by print publishing.

Users of Rice University Press titles are able to view the content online for free, or order printed books in every style from softbound black-and-white on inexpensive paper to leather-bound, full-color hardbacks on high-gloss paper.
