Open Access
Digital publication (with Printing On Demand), including peer review, distribution (OAPEN, etc.), DOI, and Creative Commons License. Open Access greatly increases the visibility and impact (citations, references, follow-up research) of scientific research results.
Thanks to Acco Research’s Open Access formula, a scientific research publication is immediately digitally and freely accessible worldwide to everyone inside and outside the academic community from the day of publication, without an embargo period. Acco Research offers a paid printed version (POD) of each Open Access publication via its own webshop.
The financing of digital Open Access publications at Acco Research is provided by a third party (Open Access Diamond) or via Book Processing Charges via the author (Open Access Gold). Quote on request.
Free Access (+ print)
Free digital edition with a paid print version, but without prior peer review. Both the digital and print versions are available via the Acco webshop (and possibly third parties).
Free Access is financed by a third party (usually the research institution) after a customized quote.
