The 2025 edit
Our highlights from last year
In 2025:
• We shared our Publishing futures report, calling for radical reform in academic publishing.
• Our users downloaded over 174 million articles, Elements and book chapters across our Cambridge Core and higher education platforms.
• Our authors received over 230 awards and honourable mentions
• Over 73% of research articles have published open access.
Publishing futures
Our Publishing futures: Working together report called for urgent, collective action to secure the future of academic publishing. The report drew on a global, community-led review and survey of more than 3,000 researchers, publishing partners, funders, librarians and publishers from 120 countries.
Open research
We are playing a leading role in advancing open research to drive greater collaboration, transparency and accessibility. In 2025, more than 70% of our research has published open access each month. We published open access articles across 428 Journals, including 161 Gold open access journals.
AI Licensing
We have a responsibility to protect our authors and research in the age of AI. In 2025, we communicated with our book authors and journal partners, seeking consent before including their works in any generative AI licensing deals.

Flipping the traditional publishing model upside down
What is Flip it Open?
Flip it Open is a Cambridge University Press programme which aims to sustainably fund open access to over 100 book titles through existing purchasing habits. Once the titles meet a set revenue threshold, we have committed to making them available as open access on Cambridge Core, as well as affordable paperbacks. By making books open access in response to them being purchased early in their life, we are flipping the traditional publishing model upside down.
Explore recently flipped and about to flip titles
The Flip it Open pilot included 28 titles across HSS subjects and its success has led us to continue with the programme on an ongoing basis, with over 120 titles flipped. As we always make it clear to all that the purchased titles are part of the project, it is our customers’ buying habits and the simple process of flipping the titles that determine the success and sustainability of Flip it Open.
Explore our recently flipped titles, as well as forthcoming titles to the programme, on the next page.

Community-led change to build an open future
Building an equitable open future
Open access has made research more widely available, improved discoverability, and increased the impact of academic work. By maximising reach and impact, open research practices drive knowledge and discovery. Across the industry, more than 50% of research articles are now published open access, enabling barrier free access to research.
At Cambridge, open access is an important part of fulfilling our mission of furthering the advancement of learning, knowledge and research worldwide. In 2025 more than 70% of our research has published open access each month. From 2026, over 50% of our journals will be fully open access.
Yet, while the move to open holds great promise, it has also added complexity and left some fundamental issues unsolved. For book publishing, the challenges are greater still, with no sustainable, scalable model yet to emerge. The sector also lacks confidence in the system’s ability to support open, limiting the full potential of a truly open approach to research dissemination. Against this backdrop, the Press conducted a radical, community-led review of the open research publishing ecosystem.

Why open access matters
Open access research has a significantly higher readership and is easier to share. Our open access articles, hosted on Cambridge Core, receive on average 3.5 times more full text views and 1.6 times more citations. Our open access book downloads are 9 times higher than nonOA books, and Elements see 12 times the downloads of non-OA Elements.
