Publication services
Publication
The Library of Corvinus University of Budapest provides the full-scope arrangement of university publications for both printed and electronic material. Each work intended for publication has to be sent to the coordinator in charge of publications (krisztina.szekely@uni-corvinus.hu) who will read through and check the submitted manuscript to make sure it meets the criteria for publication. Next, some feedback is provided, and the work is recommended for publication. In every case, the university will own the publishing rights, and the individual responsible for publication will be the rector of the university. The publication of any work representing the university can only be consented by the rector. The university’s publication procedure extends to ISBN, ISSN, DOI registration as well. Only the publisher is entitled to acquire these codes. Every work published by the university has to be uploaded into the Corvinus Research repository together with the relevant rights, which is necessary for archiving and the university’s further services.
