FAQs

Are Bloomsbury Professional journals compliant with Plan S?

Bloomsbury Professional journals take a non-exclusive licence to publish, meaning authors retain full rights to their original work. Authors funded by Plan S-participating organisations and publishing Bloomsbury Professional journals can meet Plan S requirements by placing a copy of their accepted manuscript in a compliant repository and making it available immediately on publication under a CC BY 4.0 licence.

Is sharing of articles on Academia.edu and ResearchGate permitted?

Bloomsbury Professional journals take a non-exclusive licence to publish, meaning authors retain full rights to their original work. Authors may therefore make copies of their accepted manuscript available from any location, including commercial networks such as Academia.edu and ResearchGate.

We do not permit sharing of Bloomsbury’s published version of record (the typeset PDF) on commercial sites such as Academia.edu and ResearchGate.
