Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher explained

The Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher (TOAEP) is an academic publisher specializing in international law and policy.^{[1] [2]} Established in 2010, it is named after the late European international lawyer Torkel Opsahl (1931-1993). TOAEP originally 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 in Brussels, Belgium,^[3] but it has editorial independence.^[4] TOAEP also works out of the CILRAP Bottega in Florence, Italy.

TOAEP was the first academic e-publisher in international law, publishing both in print and freely online,^[5] and the first publisher to be certified by the Digital Public Goods Alliance, along with its full catalogue.^[6] 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.^[7] Its publications can also be accessed through the award-winning 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, prominently among them the Italian lawyer Antonio Angotti.^[8] TOAEP has published more than 865 authors from around the world.^[9] There have been more than 50 reviews of TOAEP books in international journals and yearbooks since 2010.^[10] TOAEP has more than 40,000 subscribers to its new publications.^[11]
