Universitetsforlaget
Encyclopedia
Universitetsforlaget AS is a Norwegian
academic publishing company, which publishes non-fiction literature and journals. Universitetsforlaget is the main academic press
in Norway.
The publishing house was established in 2000, and has two different origins: One is Universitetsforlaget, founded by Tønnes Andenæs
in 1950. The second origin comes from 1982, when Aschehoug
took over the publishing house Tanum-Norli, which then became a publisher of textbooks and schoolbooks named Tano. In 2000, Tano and some subdivisions of Universitetsforlaget merged. Today, the publisher is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aschehoug.
Universitetsforlaget had 33 employees in 2007. The publishing house publishes about 140 new and revised books and journals every year. The so-called Universitetsforlagets faglitterære pris ("University Press' non-fiction award") and Universitetsforlagets tidsskriftpris ("University Press' journal award") are also given by Universitetsforlaget annually.
