IDNV for publishers

Publishing houses participating in the IDNV profit from a wide range of services. Annual fees are assessed according to size, i.e. concerning the company´s turnover. On a scale of 25 different turnover classes, any type of publishing house - from small independent or specialized periodical publishing houses to major corporations - is taken into consideration. In addition, we have a special offer with a special price for smaller publishers that still includes editorial services.
If you are a publisher and are interested in participating, or if you would like to learn more about our terms and conditions, please contact us.
