Publication Costs

​

L’Harmattan’s Open Access financial plan distinguishes between two main service categories:

1. 1) manuscript preparation and book production,
2. 2) open access publishing, dissemination and maintenance.

The client may choose to combine services 1) and 2), or opt for service 2) alone.

We are currently able to provide the ‘Editing and Proofreading’ component of the full-service package in Hungarian, English, German and French, the cost of which varies depending on the language. In the case of orders for open access publishing and maintenance only, the client carries out the editing and typesetting tasks following mutual agreement on the formatting criteria.

The table below provides indicative prices calculated for an average publication of 80,000–100,000 words. The final quote will vary depending on the length, figures and other appendices, the deadline, the level of preparation, and the services requested. In the case of institutional cooperation agreements, we apply discounted rates that take regional research funding opportunities into account.

L'Harmattan Open Access covers 37.5 per cent of the costs of open access publication and maintenance for countries where the GDP per capita (PPP) is below USD 60,000, thereby promoting equal opportunities in scientific output.

The total cost of open access publication and maintenance is therefore either 2,500 EUR or 4,000 EUR. The price includes the registration of a volume-level DOI. In the case of a request for an article- or chapter-level DOI, there is an additional registration and administration fee of 30 EUR per article or chapter.

The print distribution of publications with a French ISBN on a print-on-demand (POD) basis via Amazon’s distribution network is provided by Éditions L’Harmattan; there is no separate charge for this.

On request, we can also arrange for printing in Hungary; we will provide a quote for this once we have received the final manuscript and the printing specifications.
