Kriterium – a Quality Mark for Swedish Academic Books

Kriterium is a Swedish portal for reviewing and publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed academic books, in accordance with the accepted principles of open access.

To obtain the Kriterium stamp of approval, all publications will undergo a stringent peer-review according to set guidelines. As well as being available in print, all books with the Kriterium mark will be freely published online on open access.

Kriterium is a collaborative venture between the universities of Gothenburg, Lund, and Uppsala, with representatives from the Swedish Research Council, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the National Library of Sweden, the publishers Nordic Academic Press and Makadam, and the three universities’ publications series.

Kriterium has been included in the Norwegian list thanks to its peer review process.
