It is the only Italian publishing company that does not require exclusive rights for its publications. 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, it has often been found to use vanity press systems, and to publish on ordination.
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.
