L'Harmattan Open Access is the open access book platform of L'Harmattan Könyvkiadó. It publishes scholarly monographs, volumes and textbooks, mainly in the humanities and social sciences, and makes them available free of restrictions. The platform also runs L'Harmattan Archívum, a database of the publisher's earlier printed works that is accessed through subscribing institutions, IP ranges or eduID accounts.

Readers can search full texts and metadata and register for free to create reading environments, collections and bookshelves. Authors receive peer-reviewed publication services, DOI assignment and ORCID profile links on title pages. Partner institutions get dedicated collections and series, and the publisher positions its output for indexing in national and international scholarly databases.

The publishing house was founded in 1999 and states that it has issued about 1,900 scholarly works over its first 21 years, with roughly 150 to 170 volumes published per year in recent years and more than 150 book series under its management. The site lists events such as book presentations, workshops and the Cogito Award, which it has run since 2004, and says the Hungarian Academy of Sciences accepts its books as high-level scholarly publications.

Product: Open access academic book publishing platform with a full-text searchable archive, accessed by readers free of charge or by subscribing institutions.
