New volume, "Practices of Research Data Management: Established procedures and pilot projects" has been published by the Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and it is available online for free.

As of January 1st 2023, the L'Harmattan Digital Database will be available under a new name and at a new location that is the L'Harmattan Open Access és Archive platform.

The quota for fully open journals (258) in the 2022 agreement with Springer has recently been exhausted on the 6th of December 2022. The possibility to publish in the publisher's corresponding hybrid journals is not affected by this exhaustion, authors are welcome to continue submitting manuscripts to these journals, and all APC applications received may be approved.
