AccueilÀ propos d'ABE Journal Architectu...Code of Ethics

ABE Journal has a strong commitment to implementing principles regarding tranparency and best practice in open access scholarly publishing. Our Code of Ethics is inspired by the Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (Committee on Publication Ethics, 2011).

ABE Journal is a Diamond Open Access publication which does not charge fees to either Authors or Readers. The costs of Open Access scientific publishing are increasing and were recently estimated at €2,000 for each article published (see : https://www.lemonde.fr/sciences/article/2023/01/19/recherche-le-cout-des-publications-scientifiques-en-acces-ouvert-en-forte-augmentation_6158523_1650684.html – in french).

While Authors are not remunerated for copyright (no royalties), they can submit their work free of charge, they retain rights to their work, and there is no APC (article processing charges) to publish open access in ABE Journal.

Each published article is assigned a permanent DOI identifier (the cost of which is covered by the OpenEdition platform).
