Building on the success of collaborations with the University of Florida, UF Press was re-established in 2015. The UF Press faculty editorial board, composed of faculty members from various departments at the University of Florida, assesses and approves all books that have passed peer review and are slated for publication under the UF Press colophon, ensuring that the peer review process is thorough.
