According to a press release on January 23, 2013, the Monsenstein and Vannerdat publishing group launched the “FAIR public” certificate. With the new seal she wanted to put an end to the dubious pseudo-publishers and the so-called " Vanity Press ". According to this, participating companies should commit themselves to standards with regard to author rights, information about their offers and sustainability and fairness. A review committee made up of industry experts would have had to award the seal and, if necessary, withdraw it again. There is currently no evidence as to whether this “FAIR public” certificate was ever awarded or whether it will still be awarded after the Monsenstein and Vannerdat publishing group went bankrupt .
