Awards

Our global community of award-winning authors and publications represent the highest standards of publishing.

Award-winning publishing from world-leading academics

Award-winning titles make a significant contribution to their field of academic study and represent the highest standards of publishing. We are privileged to work with some of the world’s leading academic figures who choose to trust their work with Cambridge, creating a global community of academic authors.

Over 1,500 new and highly regarded titles and more than 400 journals across the sciences, technology and medicine, humanities and social sciences are published with Cambridge every year. Our titles are frequently nominated for awards and achieve outstanding success across a breadth of disciplines every year.

Over 200 Nobel Laureates

We have published the works of more than 200 Nobel Laureates in our books, journals and the journals of our partners. Notable names from the last hundred years include Albert Einstein, Steven Weinberg, Elinor Ostrom and Abdulrazak Gurnah.

Five Cambridge authors and contributors have been awarded Nobel Prizes in 2025 across Chemistry, Economic Sciences and Physiology or Medicine.

PROSE Awards

The PROSE Awards celebrate publishers whose books, journals, and digital products make a significant contribution to their fields of study.

In 2026, Cambridge enjoyed its most successful year to date, with 23 titles honoured across the programme, among them two Excellence winners, nine Subject Category winners, and eleven Finalists. Cambridge was also awarded the R. R. Hawkins Award, the top distinction presented by the PROSE Awards.

Choice Outstanding Academic Titles

This year, seventeen Cambridge titles were recognised for their scholarly excellence with the Choice Outstanding Academic Title award. Presented annually by the American Library Association (ALA), this prestigious list is regarded as a significant mark of distinction within the academic library community.
