The Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge is dormant

As part of the Edition Open Access project, the Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge presented three subseries: Studies (monographs and edited volumes with interdisciplinary approaches to one subject matter), Proceedings (of conferences and workshops), and Textbooks.

All of the publications in these series present original peer-reviewed scientific work. They remain available for download in open-access digital formats (PDF files and ebooks) and were formerly available as print-on-demand books. All books were published using the Creative Commons licensing model to safeguard the interests of authors in defining their own rights of use.

To ensure maximum visibility, the different formats were assigned with an individual ISBN (PDF, epub, printed book). Optimal searchability is given in databases, (scientific) search engines, and national and international library catalogues (including KVK, Google Scholar, DOAB, Worldcat). The printed books are listed in the national and international book trade directories (VLB, KNOE, Buchhandel.de, Amazon, etc.).
