Open Access Policy

All articles published in RhM become freely available as downloadable pdfs (for personal use) on the journal’s website after an embargo period of two years per volume.

After the embargo period, authors may link article titles mentioned on websites to their respective URLs on the RhM website. Uploading the pdfs of these articles on one’s own or other websites (especially commercial websites such as academia.edu) is not permitted.


Authors may archive the accepted version in closed institutional repositories (e.g. for evaluations), but must not make it open access there even after the embargo period. After the embargo period the link to the published open-access version on the RhM website can be added to the institutional repository or the author’s personal website.
