Investing in the future of open knowledge

At a time when access to reliable information has never been more critical, the MIT Press is leading the way in open access to high-trust publications. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the knowledge they need to shape a better future.

University presses play a crucial role in disseminating groundbreaking research and ideas. Unlike commercial publishers, they prioritize knowledge creation over short-term profits. The MIT Press excels in integrating science, technology, art, and design to address global challenges—and by making digital versions of scholarly works freely available, the MIT Press accelerates the pace of research and innovation, supporting equitable access to knowledge. The MIT Press maintains rigorous standards for all publications, ensuring high-quality open-access works.

The new MIT Press-Arcadia Open Access Endowment Fund helps ensure global access to critical scholarship through highquality open books and journals. This initiative not only expands open access but also supports essential textbooks, trade books, and subscription products, maintaining a comprehensive publishing program.

Thanks to a generous matching gift from Arcadia, every dollar donated over the next four years will be doubled, maximizing the impact of contributions.
