Akadémia Kiadó

Authors of Akadémiai Kiadó Journals are requested to sign a Copyright Transfer Statement. A typical version of this statement can be read via the above link. This transfer of certain rights refers to the final and published version of the article but does not restrict Author to self-archive the preprint version of his/her paper.

Akadémiai Kiadó is Green Publisher, so our Authors are entitled to self-archive the preprint version of their manuscript. The preprint version is the Author’s manuscript or the galley proof or the Author’s manuscript along with the corrections made in the course of the peer review process. The Author’s right to self-archive is irrespective of the format of the preprint (.doc, .tex., .pdf, etc.) version and self-archiving includes the free circulation of this file via e-mail or publication of this preprint on the Author’s webpage or on the Author’s institutional repository with open or restricted access or any repository mandated by Author's funding body. When self-archiving a paper the Author should clearly declare that the archived file is not the final published version of the paper, he/she should quote the correct citation and enclose a link to the published paper (http://dx.doi.org/ [DOI of the Article without brackets]).

Authors are also entitled to order offprint copies of their paper for a deep discounted price. See our offprints pricelist for details.

Akadémiai Kiadó offers an attractive way to Open Access for the Authors. Open Access papers can be read and downloaded without restrictions. Authors who choose this way of publishing and pay the moderate article processing charge should sign a Licence Agreement instead of the Copyright Transfer Statement. According to this agreement Authors retain the  copyright of their Open Access papers. See http://www.oopenart.com for details.
Authors of our journals co-published with Springer should consider the Open Choice for publishing Open Access papers. See the Springer Open Choice™ page for details.
