Grant Received
Language Science Press got a DFG grant over 576,989 € for two years (grant proposal). Only two out of 17 projects are financed (11.76 % accaptance rate).
The DFG Press Release says that the DFG Hauptausschuss considers the funded projects to be organizatorial and technically convincing models for financing, publication, distribution and archiving peer-reviewed high-quality open access monographs for their discipline and that these models can be used by other disciplines as well. (`Die geförderten Vorhaben haben nach Ansicht des Hauptausschusses sowohl in organisatorischer als auch in technischer Hinsicht überzeugende Modelle zur Finanzierung, Publikation, Verbreitung und Archivierung von qualitätsgesicherten Open-Access-Monografien für ihr jeweiliges Fach vorgelegt, die auch von anderen Fächern nachgenutzt werden könnten.’)
