Hatje Cantz Verlag

Peer review procedure

Hatje Cantz Verlag aims to guarantee high-quality content with every publication. The editorial and proofreading team, consisting of experts in art, photography, design, architecture and literature, play an important role in ensuring the quality of the content and accompany authors, artists and curators through the entire publication process. Once a manuscript or project proposal has been submitted, it is reviewed by the editorial team and the programme managers, focusing on clarity, factual accuracy and thematic stringency. The editorial team decides whether a manuscript is suitable for publication or still requires adjustments. The content is finalised in various editorial rounds to ensure that the best possible version of a book reaches its target audience. Each publication undergoes an intensive review process to ensure that its content is factually correct and relevant. Hatje Cantz focuses on publishing books that offer in-depth insights into art, culture and design and are thought-provoking. For academic publications, we work with external peer reviewers on request.
