Open Access Policy

Advent Publishing is committed to advancing scholarly communication by providing free, immediate, and unrestricted access to our publications. Our Open Access Policy ensures that high-quality research is accessible to a global audience, fostering knowledge dissemination and academic collaboration without financial or legal barriers.

Commitment to Open Access

All works published by Advent Publishing, including monographs, edited volumes, book chapters, and conference proceedings, are made freely available online in digital formats (PDF) under an open-access model. This approach maximizes the visibility and impact of your research, enabling access for researchers, institutions, and the public worldwide.

Licensing

To support open access, all publications are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license allows users to share, adapt, and reuse content, provided the original author is properly credited and the work is appropriately cited. Authors retain full copyright, granting Advent Publishing only non-exclusive rights for online and print publication, as outlined in our Rights and Licences Policy.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that any third-party content included in their work (e.g., images, diagrams, or data) has appropriate permissions for open-access distribution. Advent Publishing does not assume liability for the use of third-party materials without proper authorization.

Visibility and Preservation

To enhance discoverability, each publication is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and cataloged in major academic databases and library systems, such as Google Scholar, DOAB, Open Library, and WorldCat. We ensure long-term accessibility through partnerships with digital preservation services (e.g., Internet Archive, PKP Preservation Network, or Zenodo) and maintain secure backups of all content, as detailed in our Information for Authors.

Publication Costs

As an open-access publisher, Advent Publishing sustains its operations through author contributions to production costs for accepted manuscripts. These fees support editorial processes, digital hosting, and long-term archiving, ensuring free access for readers worldwide. Details are provided during the submission process.

Ethical Standards

Our open-access practices align with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, as endorsed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and other international standards. We uphold integrity, fairness, and transparency in all publishing activities, as outlined in our Ethics Statement.
