Copyright Notice

You can choose from different publishing models in the "3. Enter Metadata" section. This is a mandatory step.
If the publishing model is not chosen properly, your current submission will be declined, and you will be asked to resubmit it, choosing a different publishing model

1.  EISZ sponsored Open Access (only for authors affiliated to EISZ member institutions) - free of charge for authors
This can only be chosen by corresponding authors affiliated to EISZ member institutions. See the list here >>>
Please bear in mind that in case an EISZ member institution is chosen, your eligibility will first be checked and approved/declined by the EISZ administrator(s) of said institution. Please do not choose this model if your institution is not listed above!

2. Open Access covered by the Article Processing Charge (APC) waived by the journal
In principle, the Authors of manuscripts submitted after Feb 1, 2025 and not covered by the agreement between EISZ and Akadémiai Kiadó are requested to pay the Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the publishing costs of the paper. However, in practice, there are a substantial number of waivers available at the Editors-in-Chief’s disposal, with priority given to taxonomic revisions of greater scope.
If the corresponding author is not affiliated with an EISZ member institution, and in the unlikely event that funded waivers have run out, the APC is 500 EUR (including VAT, if applicable). Akadémiai Kiadó offers a 50% discount to Editorial Board members, and to authors affiliated with institutions in lower-middle-income countries, whereas authors from low-income economy institutions would be granted a 100% discount. Discounts may not be combined.
