Overview

Humanities, social sciences, mathematics and natural sciences

This directory’s De Gruyter record links to the current De Gruyter Brill publishing platform. Its journal range crosses very different scholarly communities: Linguistics studies human language, while Nanotechnology Reviews publishes research on nanoscale science and engineering. Evaluate the methodological expectations and article types of the individual title rather than the breadth of the platform.

Several access models operate within the portfolio. The Linguistics page describes its current volume as open through Subscribe to Open, with no author charge. This is a volume-specific arrangement, not a permanent promise for every journal. De Gruyter Brill’s OA guidance also describes APC-supported titles, institutional agreements and diamond publishing.

The assessment

What the rating tells you.

Read our methodology

Safe & Trusted

The publisher is classified as Safe & Trusted in our directory. This is a positive publisher-level assessment. The next step is to confirm that the particular journal meets your research, funding and institutional requirements.

How the assessment is formed

Our evaluation framework considers peer review, editorial credibility, transparency, publishing ethics, indexing and researcher feedback. The overall rating and category are recorded here; a criterion-by-criterion score breakdown is not included in this record.

A rating is not a guarantee of a journal’s suitability or of a particular publication outcome. Check policies at the journal level and confirm claims at their source.

Assessment areaWhat to look forPublisher policies and sources

Editorial accountability

Named editors, relevant affiliations and a clear way to contact the editorial office.

Journal pages name editors and provide editorial contacts. Consult the relevant board and ownership details rather than relying on the platform’s name alone.Linguistics editorial contacts Nanotechnology Reviews editorial team

Peer review

A documented review model, reviewer selection and a process for editorial decisions.

The publishing-ethics policy recognises different peer-review models. The journal’s own instructions determine anonymity, assessment and any special-issue process.Peer review and publishing ethics

Indexing and discoverability

The exact journal title and ISSN in the index itself; coverage dates and current status.

Check the exact journal title, ISSN and coverage dates in the database required by your institution. Inclusion of one title does not establish coverage for the publisher’s other journals.Publisher journal catalogue How to verify indexing

Fees and business model

A complete fee schedule, payment timing, waivers and any additional publication charges.

APCs and agreement eligibility vary. Diamond and Subscribe to Open routes may remove author charges; check the title and current volume before treating a route as fee-free.Open-access costs and models

Copyright and licensing

The publishing agreement, author rights and a licence that meets your funder’s requirements.

Check the journal’s publishing agreement and the specific Creative Commons licence offered for OA. A statement that a volume is open does not identify every reuse permission.Open-access licensing information Linguistics current licence information

Ethics and corrections

Policies on authorship, competing interests, misconduct, appeals, corrections and retractions.

The ethics policy sets expectations for authors, reviewers and editors and provides a route for publication concerns. Journal-level data policies may add requirements.Publishing ethics and reporting concerns

Digital preservation

A named preservation service and a clear long-term access policy.

Portico has a publisher record with linked journal holdings. Check the exact title and the content received or committed there; publisher participation alone does not establish complete coverage of every journal and year.Publisher record and holdings at Portico
