OUR OPEN ACCESS MANIFESTO
Polimetrica Publisher works from a simple premise: that for a better future of the people it's possible to disseminate the knowledge by publishing innovative books freely accessible to anyone in the world who might be interested.
Informed by that premise, we're trying to build a new model of scientific publishing that embraces economic self-subsistence, openness, and fairness; the model is based on the following elements:
1) each scientific book is published in two editions: a printed edition, available in the market, and an electronic edition, freely available through the web; both editions are identified by a different ISBN code.
2) the electronic edition is covered by copyright, which regulates how anyone should make use of the work.
All rights are reserved by the copyright holder. The copyright holder hereby gives the permission to reproduce and distribute the digital edition of the work, in whole or in part, under the conditions of the following licence:
Polimetrica License B.
Polimetrica License B gives anyone the possibility to distribute the contents of the work, provided that the Authors of the work, the Institute and the Publisher are always recognized and mentioned. It does not allow use of the contents of the work for commercial purposes or for profit. The Publisher has the exclusive right to publish and sell the contents of the work in paper and electronic format and by any other means of publication. Additional rights on the contents of the work are the Author's property.
3) each scientific book is edited in collaboration with universities or with authoritative professors or specialists.
4) the printed edition is distributed on the international market.
5) the electronic edition is free access through the Polimetrica web site.
Anyone interested in our activities is encouraged to buy the printed edition of our
open access publications.
Please feel free to email us (

We're open to any idea that will help us to achieve our goals of ensuring a new way to communicate the knowledge by the books and by the open access actions.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
