About the Publisher
The Royal Danish Academy has been publishing scientific works since 1745 – and continues to do so to this day. The Academy’s publishing activities are managed by the editor, with support from the publication committee and the Secretariat.
The Academy’s publications are released in four regular series under the title Scientia Danica. The series includes both monographs and symposium reports. All manuscripts published in *Scientia Danica* undergo anonymous peer review before publication.
In addition to the series, the Academy also publishes books under the Royal Danish Academy Current Affairs Series. In some cases, special publications are released outside of the series.
The Royal Danish Academy’s publications are sold by Gads Forlag. Earlier publications (where more than a year has passed since release) can be accessed through the Academy’s publication platform, which allows for reading and free downloading of the works.

The Royal Danish Academy’s Current Affairs Series
The series provides an opportunity to quickly publish contributions from events on current topics. Publications can, by agreement with the Academy’s editor, be released as online-only publications available on the Academy’s website, or as printed books.
Special Publications
The Academy’s special publications are released outside the regular series, typically in connection with anniversaries, celebrations, and similar events. Examples of special publications include the book Monarkier, a festschrift for Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II on the occasion of her 50th reign anniversary, and the comic book HCØ – The Battle for Science, which the Academy published in collaboration with Cobolt Publishing to mark the 200th anniversary of physicist H.C. Ørsted’s discovery of electromagnetism.
