About the Press

The West Point Press is the publishing arm of the United States Military Academy at West Point. It embodies and advances the Academy’s mission and core values by publishing practical knowledge for students, scholars, and leaders around the world.

The Press disseminates knowledge via peer reviewed monographs and journals, digital textbooks, white papers, articles, reports, proceedings, and podcasts. The Press’s monographs and journals are platinum / diamond open access.

The Press is a partner for USMA faculty and staff wishing to disseminate the results of their research. However, the Press publishes work from scholars regardless of institutional affiliation.

Content published under the West Point crest reflects a commitment to the highest standards of scholarship.
