In 1974, the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg establishes its university press at the university library BIS; hence the original name BIS-Verlag. The university press publishes scientific and scholarly works authored by members of the university.

Today, the name is University of Oldenburg Press UOLP. Our publishing services will continue to comprise support for authors in preparing their manuscripts for publication (layout, printability), ISBN assignment, publication on the university’s online repository OOPS, as well as answering questions on copyrights and CC licensing.

The university press advocates and actively supports open access. All publications are available in gold open access on the Oldenburg Online Publication Server OOPS. Beginning March 31, 2024, UOLP will publish in the diamaond open access model, i.e. that neither authors nor readers will be charged any cost by UOLP.
