Guidelines For Sharing And Reusing Your Work
Granthaalayah Open Access Policy
Our open-access method provides all Granthaalayah journal authors and book chapter authors with the opportunity to make their research immediately and openly available following formal publication, without the need to pay a fee for doing so. We are one of only a few of publishers who do not impose an embargo period on their publications.
You may deposit your author-accepted manuscript at any time, but it must not be made publicly accessible until it is officially published (i.e., as soon as it appears in its final typeset edition in Granthaalayah’s journal).
We allow deposits to the following places:
- Your institutional repository (the repository of the institution you are affiliated to)
- A not-for-profit subject repository relevant to your discipline
- Your personal or company website
We do not currently allow uploading of the AAM to ResearchGate or Academia.edu. However, after the publication of your article, you may upload the metadata of your work (i.e. article title, author name(s), journal name and the abstract) to ResearchGate or Academia.edu and provide the link to the version hosted by Granthaalayah, or the link to a version deposited in your institutional repository or personal website.
