Open Access

Mohr Siebeck offers authors the opportunity to publish in Open Access. A work can appear in Open Access either in tandem with the print version or with a time-delay following the print publication.

Works published in Open Access will be assured of the same high standards of content and other quality characteristics as all other Mohr Siebeck publications. Each will undergo external peer review, although processes may vary according to discipline-specific demands. Our program directors will forward submitted manuscripts to internationally recognised experts, who are not associated with either the institution applying or the author, for independent evaluation. To be accepted for publication, a unanimous recommendation will then be required from the series' editors.

Whatever the case, a specially-edited PDF for the online publication will be made available at online.mohrsiebeck.com. In addition to the normal visibility of Open Access titles, we are able to offer an enhanced service, which includes:

• Improved worldwide discoverability through inclusion in the most important international OA repositories (OAPEN, JSTOR Open Access Books) and in other essential discovery services (Directory of Open Access Books, DOAB for example).
  
  
• Inclusion of your publication in these repositories verifies that it meets high global OA standards of excellence.
  
  
• We can provide you with quarterly "impact" reports from these repositories, should you so wish.
  
  
• Your title’s metadata will be passed on directly to over 450 of the world’s leading academic libraries, including the British Library, the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, and the Max Planck Digital Library as well as numerous other university libraries in Germany, Europe and the United States.
  
  
• The long-time archival of your work with Portico and CLOCKSS will ensure its sustained accessibility.
  
  
• Protected by the Creative Commons (CC) licence CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 the terms of international use will be clearly stated so that there is no threat to the copyright holder’s substantive rights (BY: attribution; NC: non-commercial; ND: no derivatives, or translations).
  
  
• You can also place the edited PDF-file in institutional or subject-specific repositories.
  
  
• Open Access titles will of course enjoy the same Marketing and Sales treatment as our other publications. They will feature in the same advertising material and benefit from our marketing systems, at conventions and conferences just as in our Preview, wherein immediate Open Access publications will be announced as such.

We will be pleased to calculate a fee for your Open Access publication. However, fees can vary considerably because each case involves a variety of factors, such as the number of pages, retail price of the print version, kind of binding, how the book has been produced, and the length of the embargo. A sample quotation can be found here.

We endeavour to meet the requirements of nation and international scholarly research organisations and funding bodies.

Should you wish to publish in open access, please get in touch with the appropriate editor to receive an offer which meets your requirements.
