Besides the faculty edition series, members of our academic community publish the results of their work through the Karolinum Press (Charles University publishing house), established in 1990. Karolinum publishes academic monographs and participates significantly in the production of the CU journals series – Acta Universitatis Carolinae (AUC). The journals issued by the individual faculties of Charles University cover a wide range of subject areas. Some of the journals have a tradition dating back to the nineteenth century, some are new and reflect the current needs of the university. The AUC is an important source of information on the current state of research in most of the fields studied at CU. The individual series have various periodicities and are published in the form of collective volumes or monographs. Original works and the independent review procedure are always emphasised. The articles are published in one of the world languages or at least contain foreign language abstracts. Thanks to extensive inter-library exchange, the AUC serves as an important link to the global academic community.
