More than 100 series and about 400 frontlist publications in German- and English-language – including a continously growing number of Open Access publications – are on offer. The backlist catalogue includes more than 5.000 titles. Since the beginnings in the late 1990s, transcript has been dedicated to providing an editorial service for innovative and critical research. This commitment has formed our unique and broad yet well-balanced program, which contributes high-quality publications to the latest debates in various academic disciplines. Along with classical scholarly formats we also publish stimulating essays that find significant audiences beyond the academic sphere.
