ECF is an Open Access publisher, which means that all content is freely and immediately available without charge to the users and their institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, link, print, search, or distribute the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission to the Publisher or the Author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.
Our publishing house is affiliated with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, which makes a deposit in these three open access archives:
Publication costs
ECF is an Open Access Diamond publisher, which means
Our cost policy can be summarised with this scheme
USERS | JOURNALS | VOLUMES |
---|---|---|
READERS | None | None |
AUTHORS of journal articles or volume chapters | None | None |
AUTHORS of monographs | / | Costs to be borne by the INSTITUTIONS to which they are affiliated |
EDITORS of edited books | / | Costs to be borne by the INSTITUTIONS to which they are affiliated |
EDITORS-IN-CHIEF of journals | Whole journal to be borne by the INSTITUTIONS to which they are affiliated | / |
In special cases, depending on the needs of individual scholars, we resort to the Open Access Gold formula, in which the contents remain freely and immediately accessible to all upon publication, but the costs can be borne directly by the author.
1. Ensuring quality publications requires dedicated and competent staff. To cover these costs, the Publisher (ECF) applies a fee for each article or work intended for publication. The calculation is based on the overall extension of the text measured in folders equal to 2,000 characters including spaces. The cost can be quantified in a completely approximate way starting from a minimum of 4 euros plus VAT.
2. If the Journal or Series is affiliated to Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the publication costs are borne by the individual Departments on the basis of specific agreements between them and ECF.
3. In any case, the costs are charged exclusively to the affiliation body, while no cost will be borne by the individual authors.
4. Particular characteristics or complex contents of the articles proposed for publication (non-Western languages, non-standard graphics etc.) may result in the application of a surcharge to the Affiliate Body, which is determined on a case-by-case basis.
