Licenses

Subscriber Licenses

Subscriptions to EMS Press content do not require a license agreement. However, the European Mathematical Society Publishing House (EMS Press) is included on the Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU) registry which provides general guidelines for the handling of electronic content in good faith. EMS Press encourages its subscribers to endorse this project. 

Author Licenses

EMS Press requires an exclusive license from authors to journal owners, on whose behalf we publish. Content that is made available as open access through our Subscribe To Open (S2O) programme is licensed under the CC-BY 4.0 license.

Author Rights

Authors of articles published open access may use the CC-BY license to deposit the published version in any repository they wish.  For articles not published open access, EMS Press grants authors or their affiliated institutions the right to deposit the author accepted manuscript on institutional repositories and preprint servers. For clarification, this is the version of the article as accepted for publication, including all changes made during the peer review process, but not the version which is finally published and distributed by EMS Press. EMS Press templates should not be used for this version, but rather any generic LaTeX layouts. EMS Press requires that repositories and preprint servers refer to the original publication through its DOI, and they mention all copyright and other publisher information.
