Academic publishing | Cambridge University Press

"The highlight of the Academic group’s year was the smooth and successful launch of Cambridge Core, our new digital publishing platform, which brings together over 30,000 e-books and 1 million journal articles for the first time in one online home.

This is the most exciting project Academic has undertaken in recent years. It replaces our separate Cambridge Journals Online and Cambridge Books Online sites with a single platform designed to help readers and researchers make fast and easy journeys to a vast range of content, and to cross-refer easily between books and relevant articles.

Built with the needs of our users at its heart, Cambridge Core is fast, sophisticated, agile and intuitive and has generated very positive feedback from customers. Our traffic has increased significantly since its September launch, with a book or article downloaded every second – a rate of 30 million items a year. We believe that Core, nominated for a number of industry awards, sets a standard that other publishers will seek to emulate."
