The journal explores the geopolitics, economics, history, society, culture, international relations and environment of the modern and contemporary Asia-Pacific region.
Signs and Society
Signs and Society is an open access, multidisciplinary journal in the humanities and social sciences focusing on research that examines the role of sign processes (or semiosis) in social interaction, cognition, and cultural formations.
Focusing directly on semiosis in its multiple dimensions, the journal aims to promote collaborative translation across analytical categories and technical vocabularies already established in anthropology, linguistics, semiotics, and related disciplines, and to uncover unanticipated parallels in the ways semiosis is manifest in diverse empirical domains.
Psychometrika
Psychometrika is a peer reviewed journal devoted to fostering psychology as a quantitative rational science by examining statistical methods, discussing mathematical techniques, and advancing theory for evaluating behavioural data in psychology, education, and the social and behavioural sciences generally.
“We are delighted to partner with Cambridge University Press that is globally recognized as a pioneer in the journal space, publishing high-quality scholarship. In addition, Cambridge’s mission of contributing to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence aligns perfectly with the Psychometric Society’s mission to advance quantitative measurement practices in psychology, education, and the social sciences.”
Research Synthesis Methods
Research Synthesis Methods, the official journal of the Society for Research Synthesis Methodology, is a multidisciplinary peer reviewed journal devoted to the development and dissemination of methods for designing, conducting, analysing, interpreting, reporting, and applying systematic research synthesis.
Ian Shrier, President of the Society for Research Synthesis Methodology said, "We're delighted to be working with Cambridge as our publisher partner for the journal Research Synthesis Methods from 2025. This includes adopting an inclusive open access (OA) model, which guarantees that all authors who meet the peer review standard can publish on an OA basis irrespective of their funding situation or affiliation. We're confident this will be a long standing mutually beneficial relationship."
Experimental Economics | Journal of the Economic Science Association
Experimental Economics is an international journal that serves the growing group of economists around the world who use experimental methods. The journal invites high-quality papers in any area of experimental research in economics and related fields (i.e. accounting, finance, political science, and the psychology of decision making).
The Journal of the Economic Science Association (JESA) is dedicated to advancing theoretical, empirical, methodological and policy-relevant knowledge using experimental economic methods. JESA promotes research pioneering and advancing laboratory and field methods to address important economic questions that are difficult to examine using naturally occurring data. JESA is open to all areas of inquiry in economics and at the intersection of economics and other disciplines including but not limited to psychology, political science, statistics, finance, marketing, and organizational behavior.
“We are excited to be partnering with Cambridge to take our two journals, Experimental Economics and the Journal of the Economic Science Association to the next level. With the journals being fully open access beginning in 2025, we are looking forward to reaching a wider research community."
New open access launches for 2025
Computational Humanities Research
Computational Humanities Research is an open access journal in the computational humanities, publishing transdisciplinary papers that are grounded in humanities research questions and use computational, quantitative methodologies to analyse humanities data in its various forms.
"CHR will feature exciting interdisciplinary research that brings together computational methods and humanities inquiry."

New journal series: Cambridge Forum
Cambridge Forum on AI: Culture and Society
Cambridge Forum on AI: Culture and Society publishes research both about and produced with artificial intelligence (AI): research about the social and cultural implications of AI as well as studies employing AI to develop new methodologies for critical research. Its goal is to understand the social and cultural situatedness of AI, how AI is socially and culturally enacted, how AI influences wider social and cultural formations, and how this might change with different culturally sensitive manifestations of AI.
Cambridge Forum on AI: Law and Governance
Cambridge Forum on AI: Law and Governance publishes content focused on the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) from law, rules, and regulation through to ethical behaviour, accountability and responsible practice. It also looks at the impact on society of such governance along with how AI can be used responsibly to benefit the legal, corporate and other sectors.
Public Humanities
Public Humanities is a space for scholars, students, activists, journalists, policymakers, professionals, practitioners, and non-specialists to connect and share knowledge. The journal asks big questions and pursues bold answers that combine rigorous peer-reviewed research with accessible writing.
An open access journal for all disciplines, geographies, periods, methodologies, authors, and audiences across the humanities, the journal publishes Themed Issues curated by guest editors and an 'Of the Moment' section on emergent topics.
“It’s scholarship written with fire and footnotes. The journal is a response to the complexity of contemporary societal challenges and the demand to demonstrate the societal impact of humanities research.”
- Jeffrey R. Wilson and Zoe Hope Bulaitis, co-Editors-in-Chief
Journal of Nonlinear Waves
Journal of Nonlinear Waves is the home for the field of nonlinear wave phenomena, broadly defined. It publishes authoritative articles both on theoretical aspects of nonlinear waves grounded in applications and on experimental investigations that have direct connection to the mathematics of nonlinear waves.
“We aspire for the Journal of Nonlinear Waves to be the journal of choice for the Nonlinear Waves community. The reputation, quality, and high standards of Cambridge University Press are complemented by the strong editorial board, with representation across the field and beyond, into applied disciplines.”
