The Iowa State University Digital Press (also known as ISTUDP)[1] is a digital university press affiliated with Iowa State University, located in Ames, Iowa. The press, which is a unit of the Iowa State University Library, was organized in 2018 and is dedicated to the creation, publication, and dissemination of open-access books and journal articles.[2]
Often seen as a successor of sorts to the Iowa State University Press (a now-defunct publisher that had previously been an active member of the Association of American University Presses),[3][4] the Iowa State University Digital Press was founded to "support of Iowa State University’s land-grant mission."[5] The publisher is currently a member of the Library Publishing Coalition.[5]
