Aracne was an Italian publishing company, founded in 1993 by Gioacchino Onorati and specialized in academic and scientific literature. It was declared failed on 6 April 2018. [1]

Contents

It is the only Italian publishing company that does not require exclusive rights for its publications. [2] Aracne publishes both paper books and ebooks, most of them in Italian, although a considerable number of works is published in English. It claimed to use the peer review as an evaluation system, [3] it has often been found to use vanity press systems, [4] and to publish on ordination. [5]

Aracne was a member of the programme for the Evaluation of the Quality of Research of the ANVUR, institution of the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research. [6]
