Copernicus Publications
Copernicus Publications is a publisher of scientific literature based in Göttingen, Germany. Founded in 1994, Copernicus Publications currently publishes 28 peer-reviewed open access scientific journals and other publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union.
Copernicus Publications is part of the open-access publishing movement. Initially, the CC BY-NC was used. In 2007, they switched to the CC BY attribution license. Copernicus Publications has been described as the largest open access publisher in the Geo- and Earth system sciences, and it is known as one of the first publishers to embrace public peer review.
In 2014, after less than a year of publication, Copernius terminated publication of the Pattern Recognition in Physics journal, following allegations of nepotistic reviewing and malpractice; see Pattern Recognition in Physics#History for details.
