Presentation
Who we are
Created in 1997 to serve as the publishing outlet for the University of Franche-Comté, PUFC takes its place within a long and prestigious tradition of academic publishing. The University attaches great importance to the promotion of research and the dissemination of knowledge and has therefore created an invaluable institutional resource to publish the work of its academics and of scholars from the wider academic community. PUFC play an important role in regional networks and the promotion of the heritage of the Franche-Comté. As an academic publisher, PUFC belongs to the Association Des Éditeurs de la Recherche et de l’Enseignement Supérieur (AEDRES) and to the Association of European University Press (AEUP).
Editorial policy
PUFC publishes work that falls outside traditional subject areas (Arts and Humanities), in fields usually less well-represented in academic publishing (physics and mathematics, legal studies, finance and economy, sport and various other fields). The Press aims to attract an academic readership (researchers, teachers, students) but also educated general readers keen to access serious scholarly research in a user-friendly form. In line with our editorial policy, we publish in a variety of formats: paperback editions at a reasonable price, online and multi-media publishing.
Diffusion and distribution
FMSH-Diffusion handles the distribution to retailers and the diffusion of our books and journals. They can also be ordered through your bookshop or our online shop http://presses-ufc.univ-fcomte.fr – or via the French University Presses’ online shop http://lcdpu.fr.
PUFC is also represented at the main book festivals in partnership with the Centre régional du livre de Franche-Comté.
The Alliance of French Public Scientific Publishers (Alef)
Les Presses universitaires de Franche-Comté are members of Alef. Affiliated with one or more public scientific institutions or institutions recognized as being of public utility, Alef publishers are tasked with producing and making available to society as a whole, in France and abroad, journals and books in all scientific disciplines, in print or digital form. Alef publishers define their own editorial policy: they select editorial content, coordinate peer review, and assist with the writing and formatting of manuscripts. They are responsible for the entire editorial chain and organize the various stages of production, dissemination, distribution, marketing, and promotion, adding editorial value at each stage of the chain. Serving research regardless of its origin, whether national or international, Alef publishers guarantee the independence of their editorial policy—including vis-à-vis their supervisory bodies—the collegiality of their decisions, and the editorial quality of their publications.
Participating in the process of knowledge building, convinced that scientific culture is one of the conditions for the emancipation of citizens, Alef publishers subscribe to the need to open science to a wide audience. This is why their full mi
