Open Access and Copyright Policy
Open Access
All EESH proceedings chapters are available through “Gold Open Access” and bear Creative Commons Licenses either CC BY or CC BY-NC-ND licenses. In this model, the authors or their institution/funders pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) and the articles are immediately freely available online immediately and permanently for everyone to read, download and share.
APC Waiver Policy
In order to encourage international academic participation especially from economically depressed nations and as part of our corporate social responsibility initiaitve, partial waivers are offered on a case by case basis ranging from 50% for authors from low-income nations to 25% for those from lower-middle income nations as classified by the World Bank. Corresponding authors may request these waivers upon editorial acceptance of their chapters.
