The portfolio consists of over 500 open access peer-reviewed journals, books and bookchapters.

      How does it work?

      • Upon submitting the article the author should use the email domain of the institution. Walter de Gruyter first checks whether an author is eligible to publish the article in open access (i.e., whether the institution has a subscription used in the journal and if the corresponding author uses the email domain of the institution). The publisher then askes to confirm the affiliation by sending an mail to the institution's open access contact person.
