History
The publishing house in its current form was established in 2000, and has two different origins: One is Universitetsforlaget, founded by Tønnes Andenæs in 1950; the company purchased Swedish academic journal publisher Almqvist & Wiksell International in 1991.[2] The second origin is the publishing house Tanum-Norli, which is itself the result of the merger of two publishing companies founded in 1890 and 1933, respectively. In 1982 Aschehoug acquired Tanum-Norli, which was renamed Tano. In 2000, Tano and Universitetsforlaget merged under the name Universitetsforlaget. The international journals were sold to Taylor & Francis in the 2000s.[3] Today, the publisher is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aschehoug and publishes books and academic journals in the Scandinavian languages.
Universitetsforlaget has around 50 employees. The publishing house publishes around 80 academic journals and 140 books every year.
