Who we are and what we stand for

Who We Are

Israel is home to some of the best academicians around the globe. Regrettably, for too long most of their works have been unknown to the majority of the world.

Israel Academic Press (IAP) is dedicated to making the finest Israeli academic writing available worldwide — at an affordable price — to both authors and readers. We are a peer-review press with an Academic Advisory Board.

It is our goal to ensure our books are available in as wide a range of formats as possible — both physical and electronic; in tandem, both in Hebrew and in English.
