Open Access

apropos [Perspektiven auf die Romania] is an open access journal. As such, it is committed to the idea of promoting not only international academic exchange, but also the circulation of and equal access to knowledge. Since its foundation in 2018, the journal has been published according to the standards of gold open access: All articles appear in the journal as peer-reviewed first publications and all content (current issue and archive) is freely accessible and reusable without any significant technical and legal barriers. Within the gold open access model, we are also committed to so-called diamond or platinum open access. This means that there are no publication costs (APCs = Article Processing Charges) for the contributors.
