Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher
The Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher (TOAEP) is an academic publisher specializing in international law and policy.[1][2] It is named after the Norwegian international and constitutional law professor Torkel Opsahl, and was established in 2010. It grew out of the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) as a research project. It is owned by the Centre for International Law Research and Policy (CILRAP), an independent international research centre incorporated as a non-profit organization in Brussels, Belgium,[3] but it has editorial independence.[4]
The TOAEP was the first academic e-publisher in international law, publishing both in print and freely online.[5] It has five publication series in international criminal and humanitarian law, and other areas of international law, which are all available online and may be downloaded free of charge.[6] Its publications can also be accessed through the ICC Legal Tools Database and Lexsitus.
TOAEP's Editor-in-Chief is Morten Bergsmo, and it draws on an international team of editors and editorial assistants. TOAEP has published more than 560 authors from around the world.[7] There have been more than 40 reviews of TOAEP books in international law journals and yearbooks since 2010.[8] TOAEP has more than 40,000 subscribers to its new publications.[9]
