AKO is the series of proceedings of International ISKO Conferences. Papers are submitted to the organizers of each conference and submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee of the conference. Since 2020, also the final full papers are peer reviewed.

AKO was indexed by the Web of Science from vol. 1 (1990) to vol. 13 (2012), with omission of some volumes. It is unknown why some volumes have been omitted and why vol. 14 and 15 have not been indexed (vol. 15 was published in 2018, vol. 16 to be published 2020).

ISKO members have access to all volumes of AKO online, as part of their membership, via the Nomos eLibrary AKO index. Login is required. All other access to Advances in Knowledge Organization (AKO) is available through the Nomos eLibrary (access via fee or subscription).
