Dissemination and free access

The Editorial Committee shares the opinion that open and free access to scientific publications is conducive to the dissemination of knowledge on a global scale.

 

For that reason, since 2013, the Proceedings of the PAU Commission on the History of Science has been a peer-reviewed journal with open access. It assumes the so-called  diamond open access model , ie. an open and free access without embargo time.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.


The Editorial Team shares the opinion that open and free access to scientific publications is conducive to the dissemination of knowledge on a global scale.


For that reason, since 2013, our journal (then under the title: the Prace Komisji Historii Nauki PAU / Proceedings of the PAU Commission on the History of Science) has been a peer-reviewed journal with open access. It assumes the so-called diamond open access model, ie. an open and free access without embargo time.

Moreover, the journal supports the idea of unrestricted availability of scholarly citation data, in accordance with the rules promoted by the Initiative for Open Citations.
