<summary><strong>What is a mirror journal?<strong></summary>
A mirror journal is a fully open access version of an existing subscription journal, with the same editorial board, aims and scope, peer review processes and policies and an editorial board with at least 50% of the same members. The journal may have a similar name as the subscription title, but it must have a different ISSN. Mirror journals do not meet the funding criteria of the DFG. Titles are continuously researched and, if necessary, included in the journal list 'Mirror Journals'.
