Aracne is an Italian publishing company, founded in 1993 by Gioacchino Onorati and specialized in academic and scientific literature.
It is the only Italian publishing company that does not require exclusive rights for its publications.[1] Aracne publishes both paper books and ebooks, most of them in Italian, although a considerable number of works is published in English. It uses the peer review as an evaluation system.[2]
Aracne is 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.[3]
