Open Access Publishing

De Gruyter was an early champion of Open Access and an advocate of opening up content to all researchers. We published our first Open Access book in 2010 and launched our first fully Gold Open Access journal in 2013. Today, De Gruyter’s Open Access portfolio comprises more than 2,000 Open Access books and around 90 fully Open Access journals, published in-house or on behalf of societies. More Information
