Scandia transitioning to immediate Open Access
In recent years, each issue of Scandia became digitally available through Open Access after a six-month delay. The Swedish Research Council has pushed for the increased accessibility of research, and the editorial staff wants to contribute to this effort. Therefore, from 2025, each issue will immediately become available as Open Access. New issues will also be available for purchase through print-on-demand.

For those of you who like to read Scandia in its physical format, you will still be able to subscribe to the printed version of Scandia. However, subscription fees will be increased to cover the additional costs involved in printing.

The subscription fees for 2025 will be SEK 350 within the Nordic region and SEK 425 for other subscribers. For students, the price will be SEK 250.
