Publikohen is an Albanian verb form meaning “they are published” or more generally “to be published” in the passive voice. It is the present tense, plural passive form of the active verb publikoj, which means “to publish.” The infinitive passive is të publikohen.

Etymology and formation: The verb publikoj and its passive forms derive from a Latin-root concept of making something public. The Albanian vocabulary for publish itself has been shaped by contact with Romance languages, particularly Italian, where the related verb pubblicare exists. In Albanian, the root publik- combines with standard conjugation patterns to yield both active and passive forms, including the present passive publikohen.

Usage and context: Publikohen is used to describe content that is made public or released publicly, often in journalism, publishing, and academic contexts. It frequently appears in news reports, official announcements, and bibliographic descriptions to indicate that material has been released to the public. The infinitive të publikohen is used in clauses that express intention or obligation to publish.
