TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR EDITORIAL STAFF |
|
“In Classical Studies, we are passionately striving for more diversity, more digital use and more open access.”
Marco Michele Acquafredda, Acquisitions Editor Classical Studies |
|

“Researchers in art history are still cautious about open access. I hope this tender will encourage authors to consider open access and explore this opportunity.”
Dr. Katja Richter, Senior Acquisitions Editor Arts |

“De Gruyter’s Romance Studies program embraces the open access movement in all its complexity. The bilingual journal Pragmática Sociocultural/Sociocultural Pragmatics, launched in 2013, is the first example of this success. Since then, our OA portfolio has grown to include titles in different Romance Languages, as well as in English and German. Given the multilingual and multinational nature of research in Romance Studies, open access enables multilingualism as a key concept to enhance different ways of perceiving the world and stimulating originality and ground-breaking ideas.”
Dr. Ulrike Krauß, Senior Acquisitions Editor Modern Languages |

De Gruyter has been publishing excellent academic works for more than 270 years. Since our founding days, we have kept our fingers firmly on the pulse – so it is only logical that we were an early adopter and passionate advocate of open access.
In 2010, De Gruyter published the Handbuch Bibliothek 2.0 (Handbook Library 2.0), its first open access publication. Two years later, we acquired Versita, a fully open-access publisher that is now called Sciendo and provides services for societies, universities and researchers. In 2013, the humanities open access journal Sociocultural Pragmatics appeared for the first time, while in 2015, we started converting subscription journals to open access. Finally, in 2019, De Gruyter extended this practice to books and launched pilot models to move entire book series to open access.
The results speak for themselves: two-thirds of De Gruyter’s journals portfolio is now published open access, and with more than 3,000 open access books available on degruyter.com we are one of the largest publishers of open access books in the world. |
