Department of Publishing

Established in 2019, the Department of Publishing at TULTECH is at the forefront of open access publishing, fostering academic communities worldwide. Our mission is to facilitate open scientific exchange across all disciplines, ensuring that the latest research is freely accessible to all. With a commitment to transparency and accessibility, all content published by TULTECH is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY).

As of 2025, TULTECH proudly publishes four scholarly journals, each specializing in distinct academic fields. We are dedicated to expanding the reach and visibility of our publications through indexing in leading academic databases and discipline-specific platforms. All TULTECH journals are digitally preserved by the Estonian National Library and CLOCKSS, ensuring long-term access and archival preservation.

Commitment to Ethical Publishing

TULTECH adheres to the highest standards of scholarly publishing ethics. We are actively pursuing membership in the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), reinforcing our commitment to responsible editorial practices and rigorous peer review. Our alignment with initiatives such as the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) further reflects our dedication to evaluating research based on quality and impact, rather than journal metrics alone.
