Criticism

Scientific manuscripts, eg publications of publishers AV LAP Publishing, West German publishing house for university publications and LAP Publishing sciences are usually not proofread because VDM assumes as academic texts they had " sufficiently high quality." A proofreading is not for economic reasons rather than also, otherwise would not be free for the Author Publication longer feasible.

The commitment of VDM, making it accessible to as many scientific theses of the general public is praised by some scholars, such as the historian and librarian Klaus Graf. Graf is a staunch proponent of open access, is therefore of the opinion that all scientific theses should be binding available online, instead unnoticed only to exist as a legal deposit libraries.
