This allows authors and their institutions to fulfil any open mandates required by funders, without the need to pay an article processing charge, but protects the rights of the author and publisher by preventing subsequent commercial use of the AAM.</p> <p>We are aware that a number of UK universities have implemented a 'Rights Retention Strategy' which compels authors to deposit AAMs in their institutional repository where they will be made publicly available by the University under a CC-BY licence. Emerald does not support these strategies for a number of reasons:</p> <ul> <li>Firstly, this approach undermines the rights of authors who lose control over where or how their work is subsequently published or otherwise commercially exploited. For example, under a CC-BY licence an AAM can be republished in a journal other than that to which it was originally submitted and neither the publisher or author would be able to take any action to rectify this.</li> <li>Secondly, this approach is a threat to the integrity of the research published. AAMs could be disseminated widely with no ability for publishers to correct or retract the work and no obligation for those subsequently publishing the work to comply with COPE guidelines.</li> <li>Lastly, we believe that the legal basis under which a University can claim to 'retain' rights to an AAM is flawed. This approach ignores the significant value and investment that publishers make in the peer review process and in their journal brands. The intellectual property rights in an AAM are a combination of  the work of the author and that of the publisher. Whilst in some cases the university may own author copyright under an employment contract, it cannot unilaterally 'retain' the rights of the publisher or co-authors who may not be employees.</li> </ul> <p>In the meantime, we remain open to consider any equitable approach that increases Open Access routes for our authors. Our belief is that the creative commons approach taken to date is not fit for purpose in the context of scholarly publishing and we would welcome further discussion between institutions, funders, authors and publishers with a view to finding a solution which promotes equity, whilst recognising the contributions of all of these stakeholders in the creation of robust academic research.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section></div> <div class="field__item"> <section class="section b-single-col-wysiwyg" id="green" > <div class="section__inner b-single-col__inner wide"> <div class="b-single-col__wysiwyg wysiwyg"> <div class="column-width-medium"> <h2 class="colour"><strong>Green open access/self-archiving policy </strong></h2> <hr /> <p>Our green open access route offers all Emerald journal authors or book chapter authors the option to make their research immediately and openly available upon official publication, free from payment. We are one of only a handful of publishers that doesn’t impose an embargo period.</p> <p>You may deposit your author accepted manuscript at any point, but it must not be made publicly accessible until official publication (i.e. as soon as it appears on Emerald Insight in its final typeset version).</p> <p><strong>Emerald allows deposits to the following places:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Your institutional repository (the repository of the institution you are affiliated to)</li> <li>A not-for-profit subject repository relevant to your discipline</li> <li>Your personal or company website</li> <li>On scholarly collaboration networks (SCNs) that have signed up to the <a href="http://www.howcanishareit.com" target="_blank">STM</a> article sharing principles.

This typically involves payment of an article processing charge (APC), chapter processing charge (CPC), or a book processing charge (BPC) – exceptions are listed below.</p> <p>The gold open access route complies with mandates from funding bodies around the world, such as the Research Councils UK (RCUK) or the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This invoice can either be paid by you directly or by arrangement with the relevant funding agency or academic institution. Invoices should be paid within 28 days via BACS / electronic transfer or cheque only. </p> <p>If you would like to make your article or book gold open access and you haven’t previously agreed to do so with your funding body or institution, you should check with your institutional APC/CPC/BPC administrator (prior to submission) to ensure they have the money available to help.</p> <p>Please note, payment of an APC or BPC is independent of, and holds no bias over, the editorial and peer review processes operated by the journal and book teams.</p> <p><strong>APC payment exceptions:</strong></p> <ul> <li>If your manuscript is accepted by one of our platinum (sponsored) fully open access journals you will not be asked to pay an APC. Publishing costs are covered via sponsorship or subsidies. </li> <li>If you are based in a location classified as a low or lower-middle income country by the World Bank, you may be eligible for an APC waiver or reduced APC rate. See our APC waiver policy below.</li> <li>A number of organisations have established partnerships with us to cover the costs of an agreed number of gold open access articles from their regions.

The repositories will provide you with a citable DOI (digital object identifier) which should be included in your submission. Further repositories can be found on the Registry of Research Data Repositories (Re3Data).</p> <p><strong>A few important points:</strong></p> <ul> <li>In the acknowledgments or first footnote of any manuscript you submit to Emerald, you must let readers know whether they will be able to access the data, analytic methods, and study materials associated with your work (i.e. state whether or not you will be making them openly available).  </li> <li>If you have decided to share them, you must also specify where the material can be accessed.</li> <li>We encourage responsible data sharing; if your dataset contains information that an organisation might consider confidential, or it identifies an individual or company and you don’t have their consent, please liaise with your institution before uploading the data. In addition, if your dataset could be considered the property of someone else, you will need their permission before uploading it to a public repository.</li> </ul> <p>Maximise the impact of your research by following best practices when sharing data; for example, compile a data dictionary listing the variables involved. </p> <p><strong>Please note: </strong>We support the guidelines laid down in the concordat to support research integrity, developed by Universities UK, which state that there should be: "Transparency and open communication in declaring conflicts of interest; in the reporting of research data collection methods; in the analysis and interpretation of data; in making research findings widely available, which includes sharing negative results as appropriate; and in presenting the work to other researchers and to the general public."</p> <p>To fabricate or manipulate data is fundamentally wrong and a breach of research integrity. Please be aware we may review data or request the original data files: if there is reason to suspect that the data is not plausible, we reserve the right to reject that paper. If that is the case, we will closely follow the principles outlined on the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) website.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section></div> <div class="field__item"><section
