Submission Guidelines
mdwPress is open to all academic publication formats, including journals and innovative web publications. At the time of submitting a proposal, at least one editor (for editorial projects) or one author (for independent works) must work or study at the mdw.
The mdwPress Coordination asks authors and editors who want to publish with mdwPress to arrange a consultation appointment prior to the submission. During the consultation, a preliminary schedule and a financial plan can be developed, and questions about Open Access and licenses can be clarified. In the proposal, the importance of the publication for the academic community and the broader public should be made clear. The compliance with high discipline-specific academic standards must be substantiated. In addition, it should be described in detail which method of quality assurance the applicants propose to the Online Submission
Acceptance Procedure
The mdwPress Academic Board meets at least three times a year to discuss submissions which must be ready at least a month in advance. Applicants will be contacted by mdwPress regarding the decision within two weeks of the respective meeting.
